🚨 Air India to receive 50–60 aircraft in the next 18 months
Its transformation programme remains on track, despite challenges
Aircraft deliveries will accelerate this year end
1st A350-1000 arrives this year; among the first airlines to receive the 737 MAX 10 once certified.
@flyarcher@anduriltech Halo is straight 🔥
Autonomous twin-tiltrotor, dual-use, long-range, high payload. You didn’t just announce a new aircraft, you announced a new class. The most badass vertical lift claim might actually be underselling it.
This collab is going to change logistics (and more). Huge Win 🏆
@b777xlovers Impressive milestone. The fatigue test airframe already at ~1.9 lifetimes (63k cycles vs 33k design life) shows real structural confidence. Curious how the lower 6,000ft cabin altitude testing will impact ETOPS cert?

🚨 India Aviation Update: West Asia tensions may push Indian airlines’ FY27 losses to ₹36,000–38,000 crore (ICRA).
Higher ATF prices, weaker rupee, and lease costs cited as key pressures.

Big picture: Boeing dominates widebody & aftermarket, while Embraer leads in smaller regional jets.
Which story excites you more? Boeing’s services goldmine or Embraer’s regional boom?

Boeing: Predicts $4.9 trillion in commercial support & services demand through 2045. Aftermarket (maintenance, parts, upgrades) could be a key stabilizer while production ramps up.

@TheAviationist Skunk Works + FalconWorks on a modular attritable UAS with palletized wide body launch capability? This is exactly the kind of affordable mass we need in contested airspace. Blizzard looks like a serious force multiplier. 🔥
