JetBlue merger or no, Spirit was going away. JetBlue planned to absorb the Spirit.

The difference is that JetBlue — IF it could have pulled the merger off, which was a big “if” — would have been larger and stronger, and could have better competed against the bigger airlines.

Dubai International suspended flights for 4+ hours after a fuel tank caught fire due to a drone attack this morning.

I mapped the disruption using data from @flightradar24:
✈️ 65 diversions
📍 34 airports
🔄 22 flights to nowhere

[Pete Syme @pwsyme]

@flightradar24 EK76 from Paris appeared to be the longest diversion.

The A380 departed CDG around 10:15 p.m. on Sunday night, U-turned over the Saudi desert, and landed back in the French capital shortly before 9 a.m.

🚨 Etihad says some repatriation, cargo, and repositioning flights may operate "subject to strict operational and safety approvals."

"All scheduled commercial flights to and from Abu Dhabi remain cancelled."

[Pete Syme @pwsyme]

@JulianBAbbott @flightradar24 Wow!

[Pete Syme @pwsyme]

At least 145 flights were diverted to 73 destinations following the strikes on Iran

That's based on @Flightradar24's arrivals lists for DXB, DOH, AUH, SHJ, and BAH but there are likely more flights that are affected
