A Learjet 60 crashed and burst into flames in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing nine people on board, according to authorities.
Ryanair locked in much of its jet fuel at lower prices before the 2026 Iran conflict sent fuel costs soaring. With jet fuel prices more than doubling year over year, the airline has a cost advantage over rivals such as Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest. But its hedges expire in 2027, raising questions about future ticket prices, airline profitability and the next fuel-cost shock.
From major airline developments to aircraft updates and industry shifts, this weekly recap highlights the ten most-read aviation stories from the week of October 25.
