In an urgent commentary, there is a call to ban power banks from airplanes, as their potential danger in the cabin is not sufficiently controlled and has already led to dangerous fires several times. #PowerbankVerbot #Flugsicherheit #LithiumIonenAkku (translated)
Ryanair has the planes and the demand to grow in Germany, but the air traffic tax, high airport fees, as well as security and air traffic control costs drive capacities, investments, and jobs to more competitive markets across Europe. For Ryanair CEO Wilson, the cause is clear: "Ryanair has the planes and the demand to grow in Germany, but the air traffic tax, high airport fees, as well as security and air traffic control costs drive capacities, investments, and jobs to more competitive markets across Europe." #Ryanair #Flugverkehr #Berlin (translated)
Ryanair will reduce its offer in Germany by ten percent in the winter flight schedule 2026/27 and cut around 700,000 seats, with Berlin Brandenburg Airport being the most affected as the airline closes its base there with seven aircraft. #Ryanair #Flughafenschließungen #Luftverkehr (translated)
Ryanair once again reduces its offer in Vienna and withdraws additional aircraft in the winter flight schedule 2026, which results in the cancellation of twelve routes and the loss of 80 jobs. #Ryanair #FlughafenWien #Luftfahrt (translated)
Ryanair is adding more routes from Vienna Airport for the winter flight schedule 2026, reducing the number of stationed aircraft to just 12, and blaming the Austrian government for the rising costs and the resulting cuts. #Ryanair #FlughafenWien #Luftverkehr (translated)
"The (aircraft) were not deployed by chance. There were a few threats. (…) Why should we leave the bombers there? So we moved them around a bit." In response to a journalist's inquiry, Trump explained that the people behind the threat were likely connected to Iran. #USBomber #Fairford #Trump (translated)
The repatriation flights of the Israeli airline El Al for stranded passengers in the Emirates have been postponed, as the United Arab Emirates have withdrawn the landing permission for Israeli planes following a violent incident on a Flydubai flight. #Flydubai #Rückholflüge #Israel (translated)
One should never forget in Germany: After the end of the Cold War, Russia peacefully withdrew all its soldiers from Germany! Following the signing of the Two-plus-Four Agreement on September 12, 1990, Russia withdrew all its soldiers from the former GDR by August 31, 1994. In total, around 340,000 Soviet soldiers and officers, as well as about 200,000 family members, returned to Russia. Additionally, over 100,000 tanks, vehicles, artillery, planes, and helicopters were returned to Russia by ship through the Baltic Sea ports of Rügen, Rostock, Wismar, and by rail through Poland. The German government should remember this today and advocate for peace with Russia. Unfortunately, the opposite is happening. The war drums are sounding loudly: "Russia will always remain an enemy for us, no matter how the war in Ukraine may end," said politician Johann Wadephul (CDU), shortly before his appointment as Foreign Minister. #Frieden #Russland #Deutschland (translated)
In the current episode of RONZHEIMER, Paul Ronzheimer discusses with terrorism expert Peter Neumann an incident in which passengers overpowered a terror pilot during a flight to Tel Aviv after the co-pilot attacked the captain with a knife, highlighting the security gaps that this incident reveals as well as the parallels to previous airplane hijackings. #Terrorismus #Flugsicherheit #Luftfahrt (translated)
What does the attempted airplane hijacking have to do with the Left Party? Terrorism expert @PeterRNeumann drew a historical parallel in the @ronzheimer podcast: Yesterday, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu received the heroic passengers who had subdued the co-pilot. #Terrorismus #FlugzeugEntführung #Politik #IL (translated)
Incredible what the Israeli passenger Yaniv Hayun reports about the details of the storming of the cockpit of the Flydubai plane. #Israel #Flydubai #Flugzeugentführung #IL #AE (translated)
Finally, there was still a report about the plane hijacking. I am glad that it turned out better than it initially seemed. One thing is also clear: a plane full of Israelis is still capable of defending itself, even if it doesn't have EL AL written on it. The terrorists simply chose the wrong people. https://t.co/gdAt3tUeUj #Flugzeugentführung #Sicherheit #Terrorismus (translated)
Incredible. Where did the journalists of the Tagesspiegel learn their craft? From what we know, the largest airplane hijacking since 9/11 barely failed. Hundreds, almost exclusively Israeli passengers were supposed to be murdered. But instead of first explaining to the readers who, where, what, when, and how, the political framing comes immediately. In what other news text would one proceed in this way? And of course, they take the most radical statement from Israel that they can find. Sure. What else? The rhetorical trick is easy to see through: Even when there is an attempted mass murder of Jews, Israel is to be immediately portrayed as the actual villain and aggressor. This is incitement. Plain and clear. #Journalismus #Israel #Nachrichten (translated)

A Flydubai plane, which was on its way from Dubai to Tel Aviv, sent a distress signal following a violent incident in the cockpit, lost altitude rapidly but landed safely in Saudi Arabia, while passengers reported an attempted crash by the pilot and recounted their dramatic experiences. #Flydubai #Flugzeugentführung #Sicherheitsvorfall (translated)
A dramatic struggle for life aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, in which the co-pilot attacked the pilot with a knife, led to a temporary emergency and the belief that the aircraft might possibly be hijacked for a terrorist attack. #Flugzeugentführung #Terroranschlag #Israel (translated)
PFLP-Aktivist Ibrahim Ibrahim hat die Muslime in Berlin mobilisiert und so für den Wahlsieg der Linken gesorgt. Nun pocht der palästinensische Terrorunterstützer bereits auf eine „weitere Zusammenarbeit“ und fordert Gegenleistungen. PFLP steht für Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, auf Deutsch Volksfront zur Befreiung Palästinas. Das ist eine 1967 gegründete palästinensische Organisation (marxistisch-leninistisch, panarabisch), die zum linken Flügel der Palästinenserbewegung gehört. Sie gilt in der EU, den USA und weiteren Staaten als Terrororganisation. Bekannt geworden ist sie u. a. durch Flugzeugentführungen in den 1960er/70er Jahren (z. B. Landshut 1977) und weitere Anschläge. #PFLP #Palästinenser #Berlin
"Vom Einsatz von Flugzeugen zur Bekämpfung von Terroristen im Irak und in Afghanistan bis hin zur Einschätzung von Bedrohungen im Roten Meer und im Indopazifik - der Stützpunkt bildet das Fundament unserer Sicherheit"Auch nach Ansicht des früheren britischen Premiers Keir Starmer, der das Abkommen mit Mauritius ausgehandelt und unterschrieben hatte, ist die Militärbasis von höchster strategischer Bedeutung, wie er vor gut einem Jahr sagte. #DiegoGarcia #ChagosInseln #Militärstützpunkt
Forschende des Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) haben in einer Studie gezeigt, dass Motoren mit magerer Verbrennung in Kombination mit nachhaltigen Kraftstoffen die Emissionen von Flugzeugen deutlich reduzieren und somit das Fliegen klimafreundlicher machen können. #NachhaltigeLuftfahrt #KlimafreundlicheTechnologie #Flugzeugemissionen
