On August 23, 2024, Avions de Transport Régional (ATR) reached a significant milestone in its corporate history when it delivered the 1.700th aircraft since the start of the program to its long-standing customer, Air Corsica. This event not only marks an important achievement for the regional aircraft manufacturer, but also underscores the long-standing partnership and commitment to efficiency and sustainability in regional air transport. ATR was founded in 1981 as a joint venture between France's Aérospatiale (now part of Airbus) and Italy's Aeritalia (now Leonardo). Since the certification of its first model, the ATR 42-200, in 1985, the company has developed into a leading manufacturer of regional aircraft. The first ATR 42-200 was delivered to French regional airline Air Littoral in December 1985. In the following years, further milestones were reached, including the delivery of the 500th ATR in 1997, the 1.000th in 2012 and the 1.500th in November 2018 to IndiGo, a major Indian airline. With the delivery of the 1.700th aircraft to Air Corsica, ATR has once again consolidated its position as a leader in regional aircraft. The latest aircraft, an ATR 72-600, bears the registration F-HXKZ and has the MSN 1698. This delivery marks the complete conversion of Air Corsica's ATR 500 fleet to the latest generation of turboprop aircraft. Technological advances The latest generation ATR 72-600 is equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW127XT engines, which bring a significant improvement in efficiency and environmental friendliness. These engines reduce maintenance costs by 20% and offer at least 3% lower

Ryanair loses legal battle: No additional charges for seats next to children or people with disabilities

Amely Mizzi August 27, 2024 17:43

In a major legal dispute between European low-cost airline Ryanair and the Italian authorities, Italy's highest administrative court, the Council of State, has ruled that Ryanair cannot charge additional fees for seats next to children under 12 or people with disabilities. This ruling sets an important precedent in the field of passenger rights and marks another setback for the airline's controversial charging policy. The dispute between Ryanair and the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) has been dragging on since 2021. The Italian authorities had then issued a ban prohibiting airlines from charging additional fees for seats intended to accompany minors or people with special needs. This was seen as a measure to protect passengers and ensure their safety. Ryanair, which charges additional fees for seat selection - usually between 22 and 30 euros - rejected ENAC's decision, arguing that the fees were necessary to cover the higher costs of managing and allocating seats. The airline also clarified that it does not charge for children under 12 years old travelling accompanied by an adult. The Council of State ruling The Council of State ruled in favour of ENAC and dismissed Ryanair's appeal. The decision was based on the argument that the proximity of seats between minors and their accompanying adults is a safety requirement. The Council of State stated that it was not appropriate to charge additional fees for a safety measure designed to protect children and people with disabilities.

Emergency landing in Scotland: United Airlines flight diverted to Edinburgh

Amely Mizzi August 27, 2024 17:40

On August 27, 2024, an unexpected twist in aviation history occurred when a United Airlines flight originally scheduled to fly from Frankfurt to Chicago was forced to land in Edinburgh. The incident, which occurred around two hours after the Boeing 787-10 took off, caused a stir and puzzling speculation about the exact reason for the diversion. Flight UA945, which is one of the daily connections between Frankfurt and Chicago, took passengers to an unexpected place - Edinburgh in Scotland. Flight UA945 took off from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) on August 27 at 9:03 a.m. local time (UTC +2) with the aim of reaching Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). The Boeing 787-10, with the registration N12020, initially headed for the Atlantic Ocean as it flew over the United Kingdom. But shortly before the planned Atlantic crossing, south of Hull in East Yorkshire, the aircraft drastically changed course to head north. At the time of the diversion, the aircraft had reached an altitude of 10.972 metres (36.000 feet). The change in course caused the aircraft to begin its descent to Edinburgh Airport (EDI), which it reached safely at 9:45 a.m. local time (UTC +1) after almost two hours of landing. The decision to divert to Edinburgh was made despite the proximity to other major airports such as Birmingham (BHX) and Manchester (MAN). The use of Squawk 7700: A general emergency During the descent, the so-called Squawk Code 7700 was set, which indicates a general emergency. This decision does not necessarily mean that there was an acute emergency on board, but that the situation

Jan Gruber August 27, 2024 17:26

In January and February 2025, Jan Böhmermann will go on an exclusive live tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra. Under the title "Eisern Ehrenfeld", the tour promises to be a spectacle that combines political satire, subversive show elements, outstanding music and astute poetry to create an incomparable stage experience. After the great success of their previous tours "Fernsehen ist so 2017", "Ehrenfeld ist überall" and "Ehrenfeld Intergalactic", the team is now building on its previous successes and even wants to surpass them. With the motto "Eisern Ehrenfeld", Jan Böhmermann emphasizes the unbroken determination and perseverance that drives him and the Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra. "Iron is an excellent conductor of heat, attracts magnetically, has high conductivity, is stable and when it comes into contact with fresh air, miraculous things happen," explains Böhmermann. These characteristics are reflected in the work of the ensemble. Metallurgy serves as a metaphor for the strength and endurance with which Böhmermann and his colleagues approach their artistic projects. The tour promises a potpourri of ironic commentaries on the political and social situation, combined with the musical virtuosity of the Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra. Whether the completed "Pol1z1stens0hn" cycle, which addresses the relationship with the police, or the biting Eurovision Song Contest alternative anthem "Allemagne Zero Points" - the program offers a wide range of content that is intended to be both thought-provoking and humorously entertaining. The Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra: a sound body of the highest strength Since its founding in 2017, the Ehrenfeld Radio Dance Orchestra under the direction of Lorenz Rhode has earned a firm place for itself in the German music landscape.
