Further optimizing flight paths is one of these efficiencies where improvements are possible: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-international-flight-test-demonstration-takes. ✈️ #airtravel #aviation #climateaction #futureready

It has been 10 years already since my article on airfield safety during construction made the cover of FSF's AeroSafety World magazine: https://flightsafety.org/asw-article/working-safely-on-an-operative-runway/.
What has been done since then? Here is a short version of what we did to further improve operational #safety: https://skybrary.aero/sites/default/files/bookshelf/5931.pdf.

When we flew into Denver two weeks ago, our plane was just inches off the ground when the pilot took us back up in the air, shocking everyone on the plane.

The truss-braced wing configuration promises big fuel savings (=emissions cut): https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/boeing-transports-aircraft-for-conversion-into-nasa-s-new-x-plane. ✈️

What if you could combine most of the benefits of jet bridges & mobile stairs into one single accessible equipment compatible with smaller airports? Federally-owned Brazilian #airport operator Infraero did it a few years ago with the ELO system! 😉✈️ #accessibility #airports #AirTravel #CustomerExperience

#Airports getting these Russian flights with brakes off should brace themselves for the many rwy excursions to come: https://twitter.com/igorsushko/status/1686867875485880320?s=46. This is a good time to review ARFF & recovery procedures. Bonus question: How many of these #aircraft are leased planes illegally appropriated & re-registered? ✈️

Answer is "yes": https://airlive.net/news/2023/08/04/due-to-sanctions-some-aeroflot-aircraft-may-have-to-land-with-brakes-deactivated/. This should not come as a surprise. #Airports accommodating flights operated by Russian air carriers should keep runway excursion & #aircraft recovery SOPs handy. Accidents will happen. ✈️

The way things are going, maybe we should go back to using propeller driven passenger planes. Seriously.

Rail travel within the Continent remains 71% more expensive than flying, according to research by Greenpeace.
The report compared the prices of flights and trains on 112 European travel routes and found that taking the train was cheaper than a flight in only 23 cases.
