Ermal Muji March 14, 2023 18:33

The Airbus A319 with registration N756US, operated by American Airlines, had to abort a flight to Albuquerque and return to Phoenix. The reason for this decision is the discovery of an insufficient amount of oil in one of the engines. On March 12, 2023, a small amount of oil was discovered in one of the engines on flight AA2562 from Phoenix to Albuquerque, as initially reported by The Aviation Herald, among others. This resulted in the mandatory order to abort the flight and return to the starting point in Phoenix. The landing was without complications, but one engine had to be shut down on the return flight.

Zurich Airport reaches profitability

Ermal Muji March 14, 2023 15:30

After two years of losses, Zurich Airport was able to return to profitability. The real estate business and the recovery of commercial centers in particular contributed to this development. Passenger traffic is expected to reach 26 million people this year. The recent success means that the airport is now also paying dividends to shareholders. "After two years of losses, 2022 will see a significant profit again. International air traffic is recovering steadily and the rapid restart of operations since early summer has been a success thanks to the great commitment of everyone involved. Our commercial income has also recovered and real estate income has reached a new high," reports CEO Stephan Widrig. The developments in Zurich Airport's figures are impressive: passenger traffic rose from 15.000 people to 90.000 passengers in the first half of the year. In the past year, 2022, 22,6 million passengers were transported via Zurich Airport, which represents a doubling of passengers compared to the previous year. To make this increase even more noticeable: in the specific month of February 2023, 1.733.649 passengers were transported via Zurich Airport. Compared to the same period last year, this represents an increase of 77 percent. Compared to February 2019, the number of passengers in the reporting month was 85 percent. The number of flight movements in 2022 was 216.585, which would correspond to an increase of 63 percent compared to 2021. Compared to 2019, the number is 79 percent. In February of the current year, the number of 15.810 flight movements was managed, which represents a

Jan Gruber March 14, 2023 14:01

The German airline Sundair reported that it had a turnover of 180 million euros last year. This was the most economically successful business year in the company's history, said managing director Marcos Rossello to Norddeutscher Rundfunk. However, the fact that the carrier - like many other airlines and airports - is suffering from an acute shortage of skilled workers is said to be a disadvantage. The company is looking for new employees across Europe in order to be able to cope with the impending rush of passengers in summer 2023, the company boss explained to NDR.

In the end, only Tel Aviv and Malta were left, and these two destinations were also canceled.
