A Brazilian cargo plane belonging to Total Cargo had to make an emergency landing in Sao Paulo on November 8, 2024, after a fire alarm went off on board. The Boeing 737-400F, which was travelling from Vitoria to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos, sent a fire alarm in the cargo hold during the flight. After landing safely at Guarulhos Airport, the crew evacuated the aircraft from the cockpit using an emergency rope. Rescue workers rushed to the aircraft to fight the fire. Footage of the incident, which has now circulated online, shows the aircraft's fuselage on fire. The incident is now being investigated to determine the cause of the fire. The incident has raised questions about fire safety and emergency preparedness in cargo flight operations.

Air Belgium is going through a tense phase of looking for investors to sell its cargo and passenger flight divisions after the airline stopped its own passenger service. Five potential investors are currently negotiating, three of which are showing greater interest, according to L'Echo. However, none of the potential buyers wants to take over both divisions, which is why a division of the divisions seems likely. The deadline for submitting offers has been extended to November 8, 2024. Particularly affected by the uncertain future are the airline's approximately 400 employees, including 150 flight attendants, who are at risk of economic unemployment until December. The situation for the workforce is critical, as the company had previously announced that it would find a solution to continue operations by October, but this was not kept. Meanwhile, Air Belgium continues to operate cargo services with four aircraft for customers such as Air France and DHL. However, the only remaining passenger aircraft has already been returned to the lessor after the last flight from New York to Warsaw was operated. The increasing financial difficulties mean that many employees are already looking for other job opportunities.

A passenger from the United States is seeking $5 million in damages from EgyptAir. Esraa Hezain, 35, filed the lawsuit after she suffered second-degree burns on a flight from New York to Cairo when her hot tea was spilled during significant turbulence. Hezain claims she suffered burns to her stomach, thighs and buttocks, which she describes as "severe" and "permanent." Her lawsuit alleges that cabin crew did not adequately warn passengers of the turbulence, and that the tray table was unstable and did not allow for safe placement of the teacup. Hezain's $5 million claim relates to physical and psychological stress as a result of the injuries. The case is currently being reviewed by an expert who will assess the long-term extent of the injuries.
