The month of October is usually about preparation in the world of aviation. Airlines usually spend the month getting ready for the winter holidays.
Usually.
This year, the month has been characterized by the serious and the bizarre.
Get ready for the holidays.
It was a rare moment of public infighting among government agencies. The National Transportation Safety Board criticized the Federal Aviation Administration for not taking safety issues seriously enough.
A staggering number of firearms were detected by airport security. More than 5,000 weapons were discovered through the first nine months of this year, according to the Transportation Security Administration. And that number was actually down compared to last year.
Call it a reversal of fortune. The Cancun International Airport rescinded its policy to charge extra fees for multiple electronic devices.
Things are getting worse before they get better for the Boeing company. The airplane manufacturer suffered a terrible financial third quarter.
This is welcome news for airlines. Ticket sales in the month of September reached a whopping $8 billion. The announcement was made in early October.
Now, this is a huge penalty. American Airlines has been fined $50 million for its mistreatment of disabled passengers.
This was the first step. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg acknowledged that there is eroding confidence in the company.
Southwest Airlines reconstructed its board of directors after pressure from an investor.
The strike by some 33,000 machinists at Boeing continues after the union rejected a contract proposal.
The Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Justice Department, has called for an investigation of competitive pricing in the airline industry.
Given the rise in popularity of the development of air taxis, the Federal Aviation Administration is introducing a new category of airplane for the first time in nearly 90 years.
Severe financial troubles at Spirit Airlines have caused the airline to look again at Frontier for a possible merger. Spirit already said it is selling some plains and will have to make job cuts.
A woman has filed a lawsuit against JetBlue Airways. The reason? She said she was served ice cream that was too cold, and she broke an incisor.
A growing issue in the industry has been the swarm of people at the gate preparing for their flight and bypassing their called group. It is known as gate lice. American Airlines is trying to tackle the problem.
