The current commercial aviation landscape has been impacted by several noteworthy events over the last 5 years. Firstly, the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max in 2019 after two fatal crashes saw a significant impact on the Boeing supply chain as production slowed. This was further intensified at the beginning of 2024, when an Alaksa Airlines flight from Portland Oregon operating an eight-week-old Boeing 737 Max 9 experienced a door plug blow out shortly after take-off. Interesting piece that summarises the history and the future of commercial aircraft’s #boeing #airbus #COMAC #aviation

"Boeing's absence at the Singapore Airshow 2024 raises eyebrows as China's Comac C919 makes its international debut. With the 737 Max issues lingering, Comac sees an early opportunity to compete with the industry giants. Will this mark a shift in the commercial aviation landscape? #Boeing #ComacC919 #SingaporeAirshow #AviationIndustry #Aerospace"

Is the Asian widebody returning to long-haul service? Yes. Is it still flying short-haul domestic? Also yes. Our latest analysis for Visual Approach Research subscribers focuses on the widebody fleet in China and Japan. The question emerges whether the domestic use of the aircraft is due to a lack of transpacific demand, or insufficient domestic narrowbody lift. https://lnkd.in/gRyabBQB #aviation #airlinesandairplanes

The accident at Haneda, Japan, is identical to the one at LAX in 1991 when a US Air 737 landed over a small Metroliner commuter airplane. 35 lives were lost. 33 years later, the aviation industry has come a long way, featuring more efficient aircraft, engines, lightweight materials, etc., but very little if nothing has been done in terms of air traffic control improvements, in particular human factor, the main culprit in runway incursions. Baffling.

Amidst Boeing’s chaotic management crisis and Airbus’s backlog of deliveries, I wouldn’t be surprised if more countries were considering alternatives, especially now that Comac has built a name for itself. Though it will be interesting to see whether they’ll decide to fully challenge the status quo by developing long-haul fleet programs.

Sustainable hydrogen aviation has a long way to go before becoming a mainstream, but some parts of the big picture are getting done through baby steps. #SeaCheetah #H3Dynamics have found an interesting approach to build it avoiding jumping the gun. Great idea!
