🔴 @united takes delivery of its first A321XLR in the coming weeks, bringing a 150 seat three cabin narrowbody to transatlantic and Latin American routes out of Newark. The plane features 20 Polaris business class seats that convert into beds up to 78 inches long, 12 Premium Plus seats in a 2x2 layout, and 82 economy seats with a self serve snack bar in the back. Business class uses a herringbone layout with a 28-inch pitch, so it won't match the widebody Polaris experience. The aircraft primarily replaces aging 757s while also opening up new long and thin routes like Newark to Edinburgh and Bogota. #UnitedAirlines #Airbus #A321XLR #Aviation

Sheikh Ahmad also expressed his appreciation to airport staff and emergency response teams for their swift handling of the incident, praising their rapid implementation of the necessary measures and their effective management of the situation.

NEW SETBACK FOR BOEING'S 777X PROGRAM
The FAA has indicated that certification of the Boeing 777X is now unlikely in 2026, pushing the aircraft even further beyond its already lengthy delay.
Boeing had been targeting FAA approval around October 2026, but the regulator now expects the 777X to be certified only after the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 complete their certification campaigns.
The world's largest twin-engine airliner was officially launched in 2013 and was originally expected to enter service in 2020. If certification slips into 2027, the program will be more than 7 years late and nearly 14 years removed from launch before carrying its first passengers.
Despite the latest delay, Boeing insists there are no new technical issues with the aircraft. Instead, the company says the prolonged timeline is largely the result of the FAA's significantly more rigorous certification process introduced after the 737 MAX crisis.

We strongly condemn the attack on the Barakah nuclear facility in the UAE.
This reckless attack risks wider regional instability.
The UK stands in solidarity with the UAE in support of its defence and a return to stability in the region.
I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division.
We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views.
They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.
