 What would you be willing to leave behind to make your flight? Occasionally, we come across an aviation story that makes us do a double take. Not from delight but due to the sheer absurdity of the conduct of some airline passengers. We will never forget the array of mask-inspired rage and rudeness that arose during the pandemic. And while arguing with airline staff that is only trying to keep everyone safe is no laughing matter, leaving your ticketless baby behind at the check-in counter may be one of the oddest airport behaviors we have ever come across. On Tuesday, a couple was traveling from Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) in Israel to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) on a Ryanair flight and arrived late at the airport. During the check-in, the couple, who has not been identified, was told that they needed to purchase an extra seat for their baby to travel with them. Rather than part with the additional cash, the couple decided to part with their child. Made a dash for

  1- Two pilots were suspended from Air France after getting into an altercation on a plane. 2- The pilots got into a fight during a flight between Geneva and Paris, La Tribune reported.   3- Air France has been criticized for its violation of safety procedures. A pair of pilots have been suspended following a mid-flight fight in the cockpit of an Air France plane.

One pilot remained in the flight deck for the remainder of the voyage, Bloomberg reported.

  How Two Pilots Flew For More Than 64 Consecutive Days Without Landing. In 1958 two men in a Cessna took off on a nonstop 150 , 000 -mile flight around the desert outside Las Vegas and set a record that still stands. In May, Australia's Qantas Airways announced it had ordered the aircraft to link Sydney to London or New York with nonstop flights. Codenamed Project Sunrise, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce talked of breaking through the last frontier and how Australia would now be one flight away from anywhere. Qantas has chosen the Airbus A 350 - 1000 for the job but have they picked the wrong aircraft? Perhaps they should have considered the Cessna 172 that hangs above the baggage carousel at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). In 1958 , that Cessna 172 flew nonstop for 64 days, 22 hours and 19 minutes and covered 150 , 000 miles ( 240 , 000 kilometers). That's about six times around the Earth or 15 Sydney-New York flights without touching the ground. It started as

  Airline passengers will experience more flight delays and cancellations in the coming days following the closures of Runway 18L, hike in aviation fuel also known as Jet A1, and suspension of aero contractors and Dana airlines. The Airlines Operators of Nigeria, AON has also called on the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, to intervene in the situation, saying the development is frustrating. AON members include Aero Contractors (N2), Air Peace (P4), Arik Air (W3), Azman Air, Dana Airlines (9J), Ibom Air (QI), MaxAir (VM), Overland Airways (OF), and United Nigeria Airlines. This development is coming as the price of Jet A1 nears N900 per litre in the market, a rise of 346 percent, when compared to N200 per litre sold in February 2022. For instance, a survey by Aviation World showed that Jet A1 in Lagos sells for N822 per litre while in Abuja the product sells for N859. In Port Harcourt, Jet fuel sells for N852 per litre while it sells for N890 and N892 in Yola and Maidu

The giant Airbus A380 is in the skies again!

  "Announced her death will fly longer", or "Don't say no at all!"  These are titles that fit well in this amazing comeback!  The Airbus A 380 , the world's largest passenger plane with more than 600 seats on board as in the Emirates version, has been crossed off the menus and decommissioned by several airlines.  But it will now return, in much larger numbers than expected, to deal with the sudden increase in passenger numbers and to compensate for the difficulties of delivering planes at rival Boeing. In the last week of last June, according to the website "flightradar24", which tracks the movement of aircraft in the world, 129 "Airbus A 380 " aircraft returned to the skies, and these aircraft are operated by seven airlines from around the world, and this constitutes  More than half of the total number of 251 planes delivered of this type, and more planes are joining them every week.  Even the German national airline, Lufthansa, has

Emirates is the largest operator of the Airbus A 380 , with 120 aircraft in total. However, with nearly 500 seats onboard, choosing the best place to sit can be a bit of a challenge. Here's your guide to the best seats on Emirates' A 380 s. Economy Depending on which aircraft you're on, Emirates' A 380 s can seat anywhere between 399 and 557 passengers in economy class. This means strategically choosing your place on a long-haul flight is important to a comfortable experience. The economy cabin is laid out in a 3-4-3 configuration, with all seats on the lower deck on the three/four-class A 380 . Unless flying with family or friends, avoiding the middle seat is the top priority, so seats B, E, F, and J should be crossed off the list. From there, things get a lot easier. The best seats are definitely the ones titled 'bulkhead' below. These are usually home to emergency exits or galleys, offering much more legroom than a standard seat. Rows 41, 52, 67, and
