Why Airplane ‘Black Boxes' Have Not Switched to Cloud Storage
The search for missing flight recorders, or 'black boxes,' on a flight like Malaysia 370, which mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again, raises the question of why airlines do not transmit flight data remotely as cloud storage technology evolves. Earlier this year, rescue divers had to search through the Potomac River's ice-cold waters to retrieve the black boxes of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a Bombardier CRJ700 after the two collided near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

American Airlines adds 2 new domestic destinations — here's where you can fly to now
Summer is heating up, but American Airlines is already making winter vacation plans. The carrier has announced an expanded schedule for the winter season, with seven new routes and two new destinations. The two new destinations are Santa Maria Airport (SMX) in Santa Maria, California, and Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) in Sun Valley, Idaho. 'American is focused on giving our customers the most options to pick the perfect vacation destination, and now there are even more ways to turn travel dreams into reality' Jason Reisinger, American's Managing Director of Global Network Planning, said. Markus Mainka – 'American is focused on giving our customers the most options to pick the perfect vacation destination, and now there are even more ways to turn travel dreams into reality' Jason Reisinger, American's Managing Director of Global Network Planning, said in a statement. From Sun Valley, the airline will add services to its hubs at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). Santa Maria will get a nonstop route from Phoenix. There will also be expanded service to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers, Florida; Missoula Montana Airport (MSO) in Missoula, Montana; and Santa Fe Regional Airport (SAF) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. American Airlines' new routes include: Fort Myers to Phoenix : Daily on a Boeing 737 from Nov. 20 through Dec. 3 and from Dec. 18 through Jan. 6, 2026. : Daily on a Boeing 737 from Nov. 20 through Dec. 3 and from Dec. 18 through Jan. 6, 2026. Missoula to Chicago : Daily on an Embraer E175 from Dec. 18 (American currently flies this route seasonally during the summer). : Daily on an Embraer E175 from Dec. 18 (American currently flies this route seasonally during the summer). Santa Fe to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) : Daily on a Bombardier CRJ700 from Oct. 6. : Daily on a Bombardier CRJ700 from Oct. 6. Santa Fe to Chicago : Daily on a CRJ700 from Dec. 18 through Jan. 6, 2026. : Daily on a CRJ700 from Dec. 18 through Jan. 6, 2026. Santa Maria to Phoenix : Twice daily on a Bombardier CRJ900 from Oct. 16. : Twice daily on a Bombardier CRJ900 from Oct. 16. Sun Valley to Chicago : Daily on a CRJ700 from Dec. 18 through April 6, 2026. : Daily on a CRJ700 from Dec. 18 through April 6, 2026. Sun Valley to Phoenix: Daily on a CRJ700 from Dec. 18 through April 6, 2026. Ticket sales for the new routes began June 30, so travelers can start thinking about winter plans now. Most of the new destinations are popular beach or mountain destinations already served by popular airlines. Santa Maria, however, is only served by Allegiant Air with twice-weekly flights to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, per The Points Guy. United was the last major airline to serve Santa Maria, with regional flights to San Francisco that ended in 2016, according to schedule data from aviation analytics firm Cirium. On the Chicago-Missoula and Chicago-Sun Valley routes, American's only competition is United. The mountains of Idaho are pictured. American is trying to position itself as the go-to carrier for regional and seasonal travel. Jannik Schneider – American Airlines has been trying to get into the market of smaller domestic destinations in recent years, having added Provo Airport (PVU) in Utah in 2024, and McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) in Carlsbad, California, earlier this year. Focusing on smaller leisure hubs is part of the carrier's goal to be seen as the go-to airline for seasonal leisure travel. American has 'opted to dig more into smaller regional airports that show signs of demand to and from the area during specific windows,' Katy Nastro, a travel expert at Going, a travel app and deals newsletter, told AFAR. 'Sun Valley and Fort Myers are two different but similar examples of just that. This showcases their bet on popular skiing and sun locations. For example, Fort Myers has shown the biggest growth in scheduled seats year over year, according to Cirium analytics. American is trying to ride that wave of growth and interest.'

Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Social media users allege Air India CEO's post-crash speech was plagiarised
As the nation mourns the devastating loss of 270 lives in the Air India Flight AI-171 crash, the airline is now facing criticism on another front—this time concerning the remarks made by its CEO. Campbell Wilson, CEO and Managing Director of Air India, released a video statement following the tragic crash in Ahmedabad last Thursday. His delivery was solemn, and the message appeared sincere. However, social media users have alleged that the speech was largely copied from American Airline CEO's statement earlier this year. As per social media reports, the Air India CEO's speech was nearly identical to one given by American Airlines CEO Robert Isom earlier this year, following a fatal crash in the United States. — beastoftraal (@beastoftraal) Isom had spoken in response to a January 30, 2025 mid-air collision near Washington D.C., where a commercial jet collided with a military helicopter, resulting in the deaths of at least 67 people. Alleged Copying of Statement Some social media users have alleged that Wilson's statement included lines such as: 'This is a difficult day for all of us... Our efforts are now focused entirely on the needs of our passengers, crew members, their families, and loved ones.' These exact phrases—and the broader structure—mirror those used by Isom in his address after the American Airlines Flight 5342 accident, in which a Bombardier CRJ700 collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. While Isom's message was widely praised at the time for its emotional sincerity, the repetition of those words in a different context has led to public backlash against Air India, with critics accusing the airline of insincerity and lack of originality in its crisis communication. One online comment read: 'Not ideal to see a copied message after such a tragic event.' India's Worst Aviation Tragedy in Years The crash of Air India Flight AI-171 marks one of the deadliest aviation disasters in Indian history. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, en route to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. There were 230 passengers and 12 crew members on board, including nationals from India, the UK, Portugal, and aircraft tragically came down inside the BJ Medical College campus, causing further devastation. Many of those who lost their lives were not passengers, but rather students, medical staff, and local residents in the Meghaninagar area surrounding the crash site. Air India and its parent company, Tata Group, will jointly provide over ₹1.25 crore in financial assistance to the families of those killed in the Ahmedabad air disaster. This includes ₹1 crore from Tata Sons and an interim ₹25 lakh from the airline itself.
