At some point, we were socialized to hate flying.

A car was seriously damaged when part of an aeroplane's wing landed on it in the Japanese city of Osaka. The piece, which weighed more than 4kg (9lb), fell from a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines plane shortly after it departed Kansai International Airport on Saturday. It damaged the car's roof and smashed its rear window after falling more than 2,000 metres (6,500ft).

The Air Force has awarded a $600 million contract to the Boeing Co. to begin designing the next Air Force One while at the same time meeting President Trump's demands to lower the cost of the aircraft. "The contract modification includes the design to incorporate a mission communication system, electrical power upgrades, a medical facility, an executive interior, a self-defense system and autonomous ground operations capabilities into two commercial Boeing 747-8s," says a Boeing news release about the contract award.

British aerospace firm Reaction Engines Limited (REL) is working on an aircraft that will be able to transport passengers anywhere in the world in just four hours, while also being able to reach outer space.

JetBlue is taking measures to make evacuating from Hurricane Irma affordable for as many people as possible. On Wednesday, the New York-based airline announced it had discounted the price of nonstop flights out of Florida to $99 including tax. Connecting flights out of Florida will cost a bit more, at $159.

United Airlines won’t be punished by the federal government over the forced removal of a passenger from a flight in April that put a spotlight on the growing tensions between airlines and travelers on crowded flights. The Department of Transportation has concluded its investigation into the dragging of passenger Dr. David Dao and found no reason to fine the airline, the department said in a letter to United...

An Air Canada pilot mistakenly started to land on a SFO taxiway, where four fully-loaded planes were waiting to take off, rather than the runway.

A pilot carried out a heart-stopping emergency landing during which he couldn't see – after giant hailstones shattered the windscreen of his severely damaged jet. Captain Alexander Akopov picked up the Ukrainian Order For Courage in his home country after landing the Airbus A320 at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport on Thursday.

The route started in Seattle heading east late Wednesday afternoon. But the fun really only began over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan when the Dreamliner started heading south as it began to trace the shape of an airplane.

Longer, faster, higher and, er, shorter. The story behind the planet's briefest air journeys.

A new report from UBS showed the main obstacle for pilotless flying is not the lack of technology. It's the passengers.

In a striking announcement Wednesday, a Polish government committee suggested that traces of explosives have been found on the wreckage of a Polish plane that crashed in 2010. As the committee put it, “much damage to the left wing of the TU 154M plane carried traces of an explosion.”

Foam airplanes are the jam.

It's a major win for drone hobbyists, who say the FAA doesn’t have the power to make them register their model aircraft.

"Following the major IT system failure experienced earlier today, with regret we have had to cancel all flights leaving from Heathrow and Gatwick for the rest of today, Saturday, May 27. "The system outage has also affected our call centres and our website but we will update customers as soon as we are able to.

all electronics larger than a smartphone should be checked instead of kept in a carry-on on flights into the US from mainly Muslim countries in the middle east and north Africa. this not pass the smell test -- anyone looking to bring down an aircraft with explosive devices won't care if they're in the cabin or the hold: boom is boom.

It's an idea long supported by most of the commercial airlines and the union, who say the system is inefficient under the Federal Aviation Administration.

Airplanes can't fly because it's too hot? That's crazy. No, not if you understand the science behind it.

Last month, a team of MIT engineers launched Jungle Hawk Owl from the back of a compact car.

It’s going to take us a healthy dollop of faith in technology to accept autonomous vehicles at some point on our roadways. But what about in our skies? The thought of robot-driven planes ferrying hundreds of people overhead to their destinations conjures images of metal, fire, and passengers raining down from the skies. Still, proponents of such systems believe autonomous transport of all kinds, including commercial flight, will be less prone to error when humans are removed from the equation. Once the bugs have been worked out, of course.

Budget airline VivaColombia is considering plans to remove all seats from its planes and make passengers stand. They hope the move will drive down fares by allowing them to squeeze more passengers into each flight, opening up air travel to working class Colombians and budget holidaymakers.

Armed with fists and an unexplained determination, a Tampa man attacked Delta Air Lines crew and passengers Thursday as he tried to pry open an exit door midair, according to the FBI. Joseph Hudek IV was eventually subdued by multiple people on the Seattle-to-Beijing flight — in a melee where bottles of wine became weapons.

Hours after a plane crashed in the Mississippi Delta on Monday, the Marine Corps said that a KC-130 airplane had suffered a “mishap.”

The US investigates how the flight from Toronto almost landed on a taxiway with four planes on it.

German air force jetists have seized a Korean Air Boeing 777 on Saturday night and forced to land at Stuttgart Airport. The aircraft was in transit with 211 passengers from Seoul to Zurich, Switzerland, when the radio contact was suddenly discontinued, a spokesperson said. After the plane landed, a technical defect was detected, police said.

Four huge airlines on three continents want to create a virtual super-airline. They plan to spend more than $1 billion to do it. In a series of transactions announced Thursday, Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Shanghai-based China Eastern (CEA)are each buying 10% of Air France/KLM (AFLYY)Group. And Air France/KLM will buy 31% of Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Airways. The roughly $1.2 billion worth of investments will deepen business ties between the carriers, giving them the ability to coordinate across the busy air corridor between Europe and the United States.

Newly released data and photos show how shockingly low an Air Canada jet was when it pulled up to avoid crashing into planes waiting on a San Francisco international airport taxiway last month. The Air Canada pilots mistook the taxiway for the runway next to it and flew their jet to just 59ft (18m) above ground before pulling up to attempt another landing, according to National Transportation Safety Board information released on Wednesday.

The official search is nearly over while amateurs comb beaches to look for more debris. Already their efforts have turned up pieces of wing that show the plane didn't nosedive into the ocean. Officials from Malaysia, Australia, and China have come as close as they could to saying that the greatest mystery in modern aviation, the disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370, will remain unsolved. Meeting in Kuala Lumpur they said, “In the absence of new evidence [the three countries] have collectively decided to suspend the search upon completion of the 120,000 square kilometer (46,332 square mile) search area.”

Jet engine exhaust from airliners endangers human health and adds to climate change, the government found Monday in taking the first step toward regulating those emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency said it will use its authority under the Clean Air Act to impose limits on aircraft emissions. Jet engines spew significant amounts of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, into the upper atmosphere, where they trap heat from the sun.

A fleet of high-tech aerostats sail across Russia's remote Arctic stretches, bringing resources from the north to the busy railheads farther south. An economic boom saves the economy, and because American business wants a piece of the action, the United States lifts sanctions on Russia. The European Union and China get involved, too. Same goes for disloyal Russian millionaires and billionaires stashing their savings in London and New York real estate instead of investing in the motherland.

The flight which was scheduled to land at Edmonton in Canada at 12.59 local time has been forced to land in Iceland following a one and a half hour hold over the European island. The Westjet flight, number WS27, left London at 10.55am and was just over two hours into its journey when the pilots made an 'emergency squawk'. The flight made its way to Keflavik International Airport in Iceland but before it did it turned around on its path and spent almost an hour and a half over the Atlantic.
