NTSB Probing Aborted Landings at Reagan Due to Army Helicopter
By and Mary Schlangenstein Save The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating aborted landings by two flights into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport due to a nearby US Army Black Hawk helicopter that was traveling to the Pentagon. Air traffic control instructed pilots on the two flights — one operated by Delta Air Lines Inc. and another by Republic Airways — to perform a common maneuver known as a go-around, in which flight crews terminate a landing attempt and climb back into the air, the NTSB said in a statement on Friday. The US Federal Aviation Administration is also investigating the incident.

Delta Air Lines Announces Change for Passengers Starting Soon
Delta Air Lines Inc. has announced a change for passengers, and it starts on April 8. According to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, the airline will start a new cutoff time for passengers to check their bags when taking domestic flights. "In an email the airline sent to customers Thursday, Atlanta-based Delta (NYSE: DAL) said all bags will need to be checked 45 minutes prior to departure on domestic flights starting Tuesday, April 8," the Business Journal states. The outlet adds that the cutoff is earlier for certain flights, such as 60 minutes before departure for JFK airport in New York, among others. So, make sure to check your update flight information if you're traveling on Delta. Delta sent the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal an emailed statement about the change, noting that they're making the move "so Delta teams can ensure all customers have a great experience that begins with safety and continues with a clean, on-time and enjoyable flight with their bags." Delta also told the publication that this move won't impact passengers "who are not checking bags, many of whom can still check in at the airport only 30 minutes prior to departure, depending on the airport." They also said the move will only impact a "few passengers," because the majority of them already check their bags in 45 minutes before departure. Delta continues to ask passengers to get to the airport two hours before departure for domestic flights. When it comes to carry-on bags, on their website, Delta Airlines states, "Each passenger flying with Delta can bring 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item free of charge (such as a purse, laptop bag or item of similar size that will fit underneath the seat in front of you)." They add, "If you plan to bring roll-aboard luggage or a large bag to store in the overhead bin, you can find size information, Go to footer note below." Also, there are certain carry-on bag exceptions for passengers "traveling with an infant-in-arms and for passengers traveling with pets in the cabin."

Delta Offers $30,000 to Each Passenger in Toronto Crash Landing
Delta Air Lines Inc. is offering $30,000 to every passenger aboard a regional jet flight that came to rest upside down after crash landing at a Toronto airport earlier this week. The payments are 'a good-faith gesture' that have 'no strings attached and does not affect rights,' Morgan Durrant, a Delta spokesman, said Wednesday. Carriers in the past have made similar payments, such as $5,000 to help passengers replace possessions lost on US Airways' 'Miracle on the Hudson' flight in 2009.
