The aircraft are part of the Indian carrier's recent order for 190jets and are not incremental. Boeing confirmed during a recent earnings call that it had managed to find buyer(s) for the unwanted MAX but did not reveal their identity. "We ended the [second] quarter with approximately 228 MAX airplanes in inventory. This includes 85 for customers in China and 55 that have now been remarketed as part of the plan we have previously discussed," Chief Financial Officer Brian West said. Chief Executive Dave Calhoun emphasised that the remarketing was conducted "with permission of" and in dialogue with Chinese customers. The American manufacturer has been dithering on its plans to remarket the China-bound B737 MAX, initially announcing the plan in September 2022 only to backtrack in early 2023. Rumours first emerged in late 2022 that Boeing was hawking a portion of the 140 aircraft to Air India. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93480/Air_India_to_take_remarketed_Chinese_MAX_report http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93479/The_ultimate_in_aviation_luxury_Private_terminal_coming_to_world_s_busiest_airport_in_September Mon, 07 Aug 2023 18:32:29 GMT Atlanta CNN — Imagine being able to take off from a major US international airport on a commercial flight without stepping foot inside a clamorous, crowded and cavernous terminal. If you have enough coin, you don’t have to imagine it. You’ll actually be able to live it – at least at two large and frequently crowded US airports. A new private, luxury terminal for people taking commercial flights is scheduled to open on September 6 at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to operator PS in a news release. It’s the second one under the PS umbrella, with a similar private terminal having been open at LAX in Los Angeles since 2017. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93479/The_ultimate_in_aviation_luxury_Private_terminal_coming_to_world_s_busiest_airport_in_September http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93478/Escaped_bear_delays_flight_in_Dubai Mon, 07 Aug 2023 18:30:05 GMT Abu Dhabi CNN — A bear being transported on an Iraqi Airways flight from Baghdad to Dubai Friday caused delays after it escaped from a crate in the cargo hold. Iraqi Airways issued an apology after a video circulated online of a male passenger saying the return flight to Baghdad was delayed for “over an hour due to a bear in the cargo.” http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93478/Escaped_bear_delays_flight_in_Dubai http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93477/Data_and_the_Power_of_Story Mon, 07 Aug 2023 17:52:10 GMT On a ruggedly mountainous Indonesian island called Sulawesi sits a cave containing what is possibly the earliest known example of human storytelling. According to uranium-series analysis, the below scene was etched into limestone some 44,000 years ago, and it shows us a group of eight beings in the act of communal hunting. These ancient discoveries often shine light onto our own experience and reveal an incredible, though unsurprising fact: human beings love stories, we’ve been that way for a long time, and there’s no indication it’s going to change! In the 18 years since FlightAware was founded, the amount of data informing every aspect of our lives has grown dramatically, and our modern stories are often woven together with numbers and code as much as they are with words and pictures. FlightAware’s own evolution into the aviation intelligence company it is today cannot be separated from the core objective of making meaning from data. This began with basic flight tracking in 2005 and has expanded to cover almost every data point in the aviation ecosystem. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93477/Data_and_the_Power_of_Story http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93476/Navy_announces_aircraft_maintenance_contract_for_presidential_helicopters Mon, 07 Aug 2023 16:09:16 GMT The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is seeking sources to provide aircraft maintenance and modification services in support of the Presidential Helicopters Program. http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93476/Navy_announces_aircraft_maintenance_contract_for_presidential_helicopters http://flightaware.com/squawks/view/1/24_hours/new/93475/Cargo_operator_Western_Global_Airlines_files_for_bankruptcy_protection Mon, 07 Aug 2023 15:38:13 GMT Western Global Airlines is weighed down by debt and poor cash flow.
