In a new problem for the already stressed 787 Dreamliner agenda, Boeing Co. in the wee hours of Friday broadcast a new holdup that will push the initial delivery of the airplane into the half of the first quarter of the coming year.

The wheels of a JetBlue airplane caught ablaze on Thursday due to the event of a a hard landing in Sacramento that caused minor injuries to 15 people and passengers were forced to exit the aircraft via down emergency slides.

In the spring of 2008 several flights got cancelled for maintenance lapses and for that Federal regulators are all set to bring a proposal of penalizing American Airlines levying a charge of twenty five million dollars or more. The fact has been given by someone familiar with the matter.

The threat to the US airlines plain in San Francisco on Thursday was termed unconvincing as stated by the police department and other law enforcement agencies of San Francisco.

The compensation claims by the UK air passengers from the airlines for long delay of the flights has been suspended by the High Court of UK.

According to a ruling by the European Court of Justice, in last November the air passengers have the right to claim for compensation from the airlines not only for cancellation but also for long delay of the flights.

The entitlement of UK air passengers to compel airlines to reimburse costs for extended flight delays has been suspended by the High Court. A European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling last November gave passengers the right to compensation for long delays, not just cancellations.

But the High Court has, at the request of UK airlines, referred the matter back to the ECJ for a further hearing.

The man picked to steer the airline that will result from a merger between LAN and TAM, Enrique Cueto, helped save Chile's flagship carrier from Bankruptcy in the 1990's by reducing costs.

Starting as head of a tiny cargo carrier, Cueto, LAN's chief executive since 1994, is renowned for running a tight operation that made LAN one of Latin America's most profitable airlines.
