A Dubai-bound Emirates flight encountered a significant incident at Chennai airport last night, with smoke billowing from the tail of the aircraft just before its scheduled departure. Fortunately, no passengers were on board at the time of the incident.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has imposed a substantial fine on Air India for a serious breach involving unqualified crew members. The aviation regulator has fined the airline ₹90 lakh for operating a flight with non-qualified staff, alongside additional penalties for specific airline officials.

A Southwest Airlines flight narrowly avoided a catastrophic crash off the coast of Hawaii, coming within just 400 feet of the ocean after aborting a landing due to adverse weather conditions. The incident, involving a Boeing 737 Max 8, occurred in April and has since drawn significant attention and an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
