My immediate response is, or thought is, you know, really thinking of the families of this, of the aircrew here. Look, I have always felt like Iran it's a very big country. It's not the same as Iraq or Afghanistan.

Nothing is more important than the safety of our people and our customers, and our priority is taking care of the impacted crew members.

Flight EZY3014 from Malaga to Belfast International this afternoon diverted to Brest, due to a customer onboard requiring urgent medical attention. The customer was met by medical services on arrival, and the flight continued to Belfast. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew...

I stood on the edge of a cliff in Howth, clipped into a harness, listening as a Coast Guard officer calmly checked the ropes that were about to lower me down. Below, waves broke against the rocks at Whitewater Brook while walkers passed along the paths near us, largely unaware of the training exercise taking place just metres away.

In-flight Wi-Fi is roughly on par with hotel or airport Wi-Fi. It's not automatically unsafe, but it's not something you should blindly trust either. You're on a shared network with hundreds of other people, and you don't know how well it's segmented or monitored.

"There are hygienic considerations. I always compare taking off your shoes on a plane to going shoeless on a public bus," Natalia Yepes, an ex-flight attendant and owner of Adventuresque Travel Boutique, shared with Travel + Leisure. "Think about how many people ride it a day. At each stop, the cleaners only have 10 minutes-sometimes less. They are not focusing on germs, but just on keeping the plane looking aesthetically clean (free of crumbs and big debris)."

If you are choking and are alone, try to get yourself into a high-traffic area, such as a hallway in a building or outside your house. If you pass out, you're way more likely to be found as opposed to being in a room in a building or your house. Call 911 even though you can't speak. Someone will be sent to your location by dispatch.

FireDrone is an aerogel-covered that can help firefighters in rescue missions by surveying for victims inside burning buildings. The assistive device aims to be the 'flying eye' in extreme environments so humans can be sure of who are and what is inside a site before going in. The FireDrone flying machine resembles a small quadcopter with its four arms and spinning propellers, but unlike regular drones, the parts of the device are built to survive high temperatures.

The airspace over Los Angeles is among the most congested in the world, but the Hollywood Burbank Airport is uniquely situated, creating extremely tight parameters around the midsize airport.

"Storing your bag behind you often means you'll be forced to wait for nearly every other passenger to deplane before you can reach it. That can turn what should be a swift exit into a slow, frustrating slog,"

If there's one group of people you can count on to have valuable travel tips and tricks, it's flight attendants. Not only do they have to pack carry-on luggage for week-long trips smartly, but they've also mastered how to fly comfortably since the plane is basically their office. Flight attendant Karen Young has been in the business for more than 45 years and knows all the do's and don'ts of flying - including in-flight travel essentials you're most likely forgetting and what not to wear on the plane.

Since the collision on January 29, 2025, between an American Airlines flight from Wichita and a military helicopter on a training ride, military pilots have had to broadcast their precise GPS-based location data to other aircraft and to air traffic control, something they frequently skipped before the crash. The FAA has also barred all but the most essential helicopter traffic along the Potomac near the airport.

Passengers can be removed from a flight for disruptive, violent, or aggressive behavior, making threats, or interfering with a crew member's ability to perform their duties. Once a passenger refuses instructions, escalates a confrontation, or distracts the crew during boarding or taxi, airlines have little flexibility because it becomes a safety issue. That stance is backed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which maintains a zero-tolerance policy for unruly or dangerous behavior, meaning passengers who interfere with crew duties can face removal, fines, or further action.

Around 8:45 p.m. on Monday, British Airways Flight 274 lost a tire just as it was taking off from Harry Reid International Airport, FAA officials told SFGATE. The Airbus landed safely in London, and "the tire was retrieved from the LAS airfield," airport officials confirmed to SFGATE via email. "There were no reported injuries or damage to airport property." On Thursday, the same aircraft is slated to travel from London's Heathrow Airport to Sao Paulo, Brazil, Flight24 data shows.

Air Canada Rouge Flight 1502 was taxiing toward the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport when Caron noticed flight attendants frantically running down the aisle of the cabin. The plane eventually came to a halt before reaching the runway and Caron looked out the window. We could see the crew gathering around the plane, so we knew something was happening, she said. Then, the pilot tells us that there is someone from the crew in the luggage hold.
