I get IATA’s frustration over low rates of production for sustainable aviation fuel. Thanks largely to Putin’s Ukraine invasion, energy companies have enjoyed bloated profits for the past 2 or 3 years. So why have investment levels not been higher? www.ainonline.com/aviation-new...

I'm looking into the potential impact on the aerospace industry of the Trump Administration's plans for tariffs on imported goods from multiple leading economies. I'm struggling to see any benefits. Is anyone else seeing this differently?

As a Fox host, Duffy in March asserted that DEI was the primary cause of a United Airlines runway excursion in Houston, because DEI was a deliberate effort by the left to make aviation less safe in a bid to reduce demand and thus carbon emissions. theaircurrent.com/aviation-pol...

Fantastic tidbits from the Embraer Investors Day in NYC as Eve Air Mobility reveals that in recent simulations using helicopters in place of its eVTOL aircraft to trial air taxi services in Rio and Chicago, one passenger tried to board with a gun and another was drunk. Both were declined boarding.

According to the UK Office of National Statistics, UK exports of aircraft and related systems to the U.S. were worth £2.3 billion through the end of Q2. U.S. imports of the same were worth £2.3 billion. So bureaucracy is the only winner here with Trump tariffs. As Borat would say “great success.”
