The Islamic Republic of Iran has been in the news a great deal of late, as geopolitical and military tensions continue to boil over in and around the Middle East. Iran Air, the country's flag carrier, is known for its vintage fleet of aircraft, which features veteran designs such as the Airbus A300 due to sanctions preventing it (and its fellow Iranian airlines) from acquiring any newer planes from Western companies.

Nairobi — Air France has deployed the Airbus A350-900 on its Paris-Nairobi route, boosting seat capacity by 16% and reinforcing its commitment to modernising its African operations. The aircraft replaces the Boeing 787-9 previously flying the route. The switch comes amid growing demand for business and leisure travel between Kenya and Europe. The A350-900 made its inaugural flight to Nairobi on Monday, landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. This marks a milestone in Air France’s regional expansion and broader fleet renewal strategy.

In 2009, a few years before the certification of the Airbus A350, United Airlines placed an order for 28 A350-900s. However, to this day, it still hasn’t received these aircraft, which begs the question as to whether United will ever take these orders, or if it will switch to another aircraft. What do you think? If United retains its order, when do you think it will receive these aircraft? Share your thoughts in the comments! This is user-generated content.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has unquestionably been the aircraft that has made the largest impact on the long-haul market over the last 20 years. This dynamic, ultra-efficient, long-range jet expanded the kinds of destinations that airlines can serve by offering unmatched per-seat economics. Both American Airlines and United Airlines wanted to capitalize on this potential by choosing to order the Boeing 787 and making it a key piece of their long-haul operational profiles. However, Delta Air Lines elected not to purchase the aircraft, and it instead ordered the rival Airbus A330neo. Why do you think that Delta made this decision? This is a fascinating choice because the Boeing 787 outperforms the A330neo on many metrics.

On Monday, the country temporarily closed its airspace, citing the safety of its residents and visitors.

Mumbai: As many as five passengers and two crew members on board an Air India flight from London fell sick on Monday when the aircraft was on its way to Mumbai, the Tata Group-owned airline said. Of the seven, two passengers and two cabin crew, who continued feeling unwell, were taken to the medical room on landing in the city for further examination, Air India said in a statement. They were later discharged, and the incident is being investigated, the airline said.

Menu Simple Flying logo 4 Turkey For Christmas: Does Air Transat's New Longest Route Make Sense? 4 By James Pearson 10 hours ago Follow Like Thread 4 Link copied to clipboard Air Transat Airbus A330 taxiing at YYZ shutterstock_1489446755Photo: The Bold Bureau | Shutterstock Air Transat has confirmed that flights from Toronto to Istanbul will begin. While details are currently scarce, a twice-weekly Airbus A330-200 operation will start on December 6. Given how cold Istanbul is in winter, this is an odd month to launch, especially for a leisure carrier that ordinarily focuses on outbound leisure travel. The reason seems to be its new interline agreement with Turkish Airlines, with Air Transat growing that carrier’s access to Toronto.
