Great job to the crew of @united flight 1775 from IAD to ORD! Their communications with passengers and flight attendants and focus on #safety during turbulence was exceptional… the best I’ve ever heard. (Yes, I immediately texted their VP of Corporate Safety) DYK @NTSB published a study and recommendations on preventing turbulence-related injuries in 2021: ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studi…

✈️ Own a piece of American history. The Wright Model B was America’s first truly successful production airplane, the aircraft that trained the nation’s earliest military pilots. Now one can be yours. This example pairs an original Wright engine with a meticulously crafted replica airframe, capturing the look, sound, and character of the real thing. Flown within the last decade, N110WE can be returned to airworthy condition. Opportunities like this almost never come along. Built for a private collection, museum, or exhibition.

Allegiant is adding first class. A few years ago, that would have sounded insane. This airline was built on $57 fares, fees and routes competitors ignored. For years, it was one of America’s most profitable airlines. Now it has bought Sun Country and is chasing premium leisure. Here’s why.

Unclear what’s happening, but Trump has been sitting in Marine One on the tarmac at Andrews for some time now, and it looks like an inflatable slide has been deployed on the nearby plane (the Qatari one) he would otherwise have boarded, per @jeffmason1.

DoT's Sean Duffy confirms the Dulles people movers will be gone. They look "like it's from Star Wars, if you will, and they're slow and people are angry about them." Duffy says Dulles "is dark, it is dated, a little dank maybe." Trump says they're building a "massive nine-story, eight-story, 10-story" parking garage with 32,000 parking spaces right next to the terminal with a glass bridge so travelers don't have to "walk blocks and blocks." It'll be above ground. "People don't like going down underneath." The plan also includes modern check-in areas, more efficient security screenings, hotels, new restaurants and shops, including "one of the largest United Polaris lounges anywhere in the world."

📣EFFECTIVE TODAY: Palm Beach International Airport's three-letter location identifier has changed from PBI to DJT following the airport's official renaming to Donald J. Trump International Airport.    FAA systems and publications reflect the new identifier. Pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation stakeholders should use DJT for flight planning and operations.
Signs of change ahead! ✈️ We are officially in transition mode! We’re working behind the scenes to update our physical signage, terminal spaces, and digital channels to our new name: President Donald J. Trump International Airport. Tap the link in our bio to stay in the know.

End of an era, several White House staff posted on X this morning upon returning from the G7 Summit that USAF VC-25A (Serial 92-9000) just flew POTUS for the last time. This particular modified Boeing 747-200B first flew on October 29, 1987 as N60659 and delivered in 1990. The first replacement will be a ex Qatar Amiri Flight Boeing 747-8 and is now called the Boeing VC-25B Bridge which is expected to fly POTUS for the first time next month.
