Re: News of civil aviation world.
A bit dated now but not yet mentioned here... Cathay Pacific is closing a deal to purchase 100% stake of HK Express at HK$4.93b:
https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/...93-billion-buy
To me it's one of the most exciting piece of aviation news recently. It's definitely a good move for Cathay as it can strengthen its foothold in the market by tapping into the budget airline market, without paying too much to set this up from scratch. Cathay can also gain the good leisure destination network HK Express has set up. I'm hoping they can keep the HK Express branding & livery though as it's looking good & vibrant (vs. the branding of Hong Kong Airlines which I don't appreciate much).

Low-cost carrier Flybe has been forced to cancel flights scheduled for Wednesday, causing widespread disruption to its customers. The incident has occurred just as the carrier is entering talks that could see it cut jobs. Flybe has apologized for the disruption and said it will offer compensation.
Regional British carrier Flybe has been forced to scrap dozens of flights scheduled for Wednesday, causing widespread disruption across its network of operations, the BBC reports.
In a statement, the carrier said that 95 percent of all of its flights were operating as planned. However, the outlet reports that services from Northern Ireland’s George Best Belfast City Airport (BHD) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) have been impacted.
This disruption comes just as the airline is beginning talks that could see it cut jobs. As part of this, it is seeking to phase out the use of jets across its operations; these will be replaced by more cost-effective turboprop airliners.
Explaining the cause behind these cancellations, the carrier apologized to all of its customers and said, “We are doing our best to mitigate the impact of the current situation that has arisen due to a combination of factors including seasonality, pilots’ end of leave year, Easter holidays, base restructuring and the shortage of pilots across the industry that Flybe has highlighted over recent months.”
“We have already identified several mitigation actions and will be issuing further updates throughout the day. All those affected have been emailed and advised they can re-book for travel on an alternative flight or apply for a full refund,” it added.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Christine Ourmières-Widener offered her comments on the cancellations, saying that Flybe was “engaging with all impacted crew.” She added that customers would be offered compensation and that the airline expected to swiftly resume its full operations.

Re: News of civil aviation world.
About Ethiopian Airlines B737 MAX crash, the first results say the pilots have been everything possible to control the airplane, no mistakes of the pilots.
The problem was the stall software of the MAX.

Re: News of civil aviation world.
I think a certain Luton-based airline will be filling a lawsuit against this lot.

Finally the announcement is here! I’ve been following the discussion about this rumour for a bit. Lots of talk about what aircraft/how competitive the route will be, but I’ve just wanted to know what terminal jetblue will fly into at LHR
