The aircraft are part of the Indian carrier's recent order for 190jets and are not incremental. Boeing confirmed during a recent earnings call that it had managed to find buyer(s) for the unwanted MAX but did not reveal their identity. "We ended the [second] quarter with approximately 228 MAX airplanes in inventory. This includes 85 for customers in China and 55 that have now been remarketed as part of the plan we have previously discussed," Chief Financial Officer Brian West said. Chief Executive Dave Calhoun emphasised that the remarketing was conducted "with permission of" and in dialogue with Chinese customers. The American manufacturer has been dithering on its plans to remarket the China-bound B737 MAX, initially announcing the plan in September 2022 only to backtrack in early 2023. Rumours first emerged in late 2022 that Boeing was hawking a portion of the 140 aircraft to Air India. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93480/Air_India_to_take_remarketed_Chinese_MAX_report http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93472/New_Thai_Airline_Called_Really_Cool_Airlines_Plans_to_Offer_Luxury_Flights_for_Budget_Airline_Prices Mon, 07 Aug 2023 12:38:01 GMT Thailand will have a new airline join its ranks as soon as this December, and it might not be what you expect.

According to uranium-series analysis, the below scene was etched into limestone some 44,000 years ago, and it shows us a group of eight beings in the act of communal hunting. These ancient discoveries often shine light onto our own experience and reveal an incredible, though unsurprising fact: human beings love stories, we’ve been that way for a long time, and there’s no indication it’s going to change! In the 18 years since FlightAware was founded, the amount of data informing every aspect of our lives has grown dramatically, and our modern stories are often woven together with numbers and code as much as they are with words and pictures. FlightAware’s own evolution into the aviation intelligence company it is today cannot be separated from the core objective of making meaning from data. This began with basic flight tracking in 2005 and has expanded to cover almost every data point in the aviation ecosystem. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93477/Data_and_the_Power_of_Story http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93482/Daher_partners_with_Recreational_Aviation_Foundation_to_help_maintain_backcountry_airstrips Mon, 07 Aug 2023 22:43:09 GMT Daher’s Kodiak 100 and Kodiak 900 are touted by company officials as the “ultimate getaway vehicles,” with the capability of opening backcountry airfields for outdoor adventures, as well as helping agencies and organizations that protect the environment. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93482/Daher_partners_with_Recreational_Aviation_Foundation_to_help_maintain_backcountry_airstrips http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93446/An_airplane_pilot_went_viral_for_scolding_his_passengers_Harvard_expert_says_it_s_great_leadership_Bravo Fri, 04 Aug 2023 13:23:20 GMT When a video of an American Airlines pilot scolding his passengers during a pre-flight announcement went viral, some people deemed it patronizing. Others, including a Harvard University expert, are hailing the pilot’s speech as an example of strong leadership — at a time when passengers desperately need it. “I say bravo to the American Airlines pilot. He has every right to do that. He’s the captain of the flight, and he’s in charge of what happens,” Bill George, an executive fellow at Harvard Business School and author of “True North: Emerging Leader Edition,” tells CNBC Make It. “If something goes wrong, he has the obligation to go back to the nearest airport and land ... and no passenger likes that.” http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93446/An_airplane_pilot_went_viral_for_scolding_his_passengers_Harvard_expert_says_it_s_great_leadership_Bravo http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93470/FAA_sets_up_new_process_for_Hawaii_air_tour_operators_to_fly_at_lower_altitudes_after_fatal_crashes Mon, 07 Aug 2023 10:59:12 GMT HONOLULU (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it is setting up a new process for air tour operators in Hawaii to be approved to fly at lower altitudes after numerous fatal crashes in recent years. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93470/FAA_sets_up_new_process_for_Hawaii_air_tour_operators_to_fly_at_lower_altitudes_after_fatal_crashes http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93479/The_ultimate_in_aviation_luxury_Private_terminal_coming_to_world_s_busiest_airport_in_September Mon, 07 Aug 2023 18:32:29 GMT Atlanta CNN — Imagine being able to take off from a major US international airport on a commercial flight without stepping foot inside a clamorous, crowded and cavernous terminal. If you have enough coin, you don’t have to imagine it. You’ll actually be able to live it – at least at two large and frequently crowded US airports. A new private, luxury terminal for people taking commercial flights is scheduled to open on September 6 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to operator PS in a news release. It’s the second one under the PS umbrella, with a similar private terminal having been open at LAX in Los Angeles since 2017. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/popular/93479/The_ultimate_in_aviation_luxury_Private_terminal_coming_to_world_s_busiest_airport_in_September
