Passengers on a Frontier Airlines flight arriving at DFW Airport faced a frightening Monday morning after a bomb threat note was found on board, forcing everyone to remain on the tarmac for nearly two hours, according to a CBS News Texas reporter aboard the plane.

Just after 9 a.m. CST,  the pilot announced to passengers that a note had been found in the lavatory saying there was a bomb on the plane.

"I was super nervous, not knowing if it was real or a prank," said Mary Putney, who was on board the plane.

The plane was traveling from Denver to Dallas. Moments after touching down, the plane was immediately grounded. CBS News Texas reporter Marissa Armas was on board the flight.

"If you left that note in the lav, we can avoid what we're about to going to have to go through, if you will just admit it; otherwise, we're going to have to deplane and do a full search. It's not going to be pretty," said the pilot over the PA system. "Now's your last chance to fess up to that. The police and FBI will be here soon."

Within minutes, the plane was swarmed by law enforcement vehicles. Police, FBI investigators, and a SWAT team quickly boarded and began searching the aircraft. 

"I thought it was ridiculous cause of everything that is going on politically. And everything... It's just crazy to say something or do something like that," Brecken Gorham said.

One United Airlines plane clipped another United plane's tail at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Friday evening.

According to a spokesperson for the airline, one plane was turning into its arrival gate when it "made contact" with the tail of another plane that was stationary on the taxiway.

The spokesperson said both planes returned to their gates, passengers deplaned normally, and no injuries were reported.

The plane turning into its gate, Flight 580, had just arrived from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago and had 166 customers and eight crew members on board.

The other plane, Flight 434, was bound for George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. There were 162 customers and seven crew members on board. According to LaGuardia's flight tracker, the flight has been canceled.

(Could not find the initial declare-don't know where the engine went on him, maybe Wash Center on approach to JFK-here's the approach to landing)

Travelers are bracing for canceled flights and extensive delays after one flight's engine issue prompted a ground stop at John F. Kennedy International Airport Thursday. Bad weather is doing the rest.

The FAA says Frontier Airlines Flight 3546 landed safely at JFK around 12:45 p.m. after the crew reported an engine problem. The nature of the issue wasn't clear, but it comes as bad weather is already affecting flights.

Officials say the Airbus A320 had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico.

No other details were immediately available.

All inbound flights were being held at their origin until 1:45 p.m. Meanwhile, low clouds had inbound flights delayed by about three-and-a-half hours, according to FlightAware, and departures were delayed about an hour for weather, too.

The FAA says its investigation is ongoing.

It comes a day after a ground stop was ordered at Newark Liberty International Airport, though the FAA said that incident was related to staffing problems, and amid ongoing concern about air traffic control overall.

Got it working now.  In the archive MP3 between 13:49 and 18:19 there was Cape Air 548 and Delta 263 cleared to use intersecting runways.

I'm looking for a near-miss event from BOS Twr today around 2015 Z.  When I click through the BOS Twr archives, the file doesn't download.  Is there something else I need to click?

Aviation Audio Clips / The Last Hawaiian Airlines Flight
« Last post by KB4TEZ on October 29, 2025, 16:21:59 UTC »

It’s the end of an era: the last Hawaiian Airlines flight before the completion of a merger with Alaska Airlines.  Flight HA866 will operate from Pago Pago to Honolulu, with a 0540 scheduled arrival time at the airline’s home base on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, a spokesperson confirmed to Airlinegeeks. The service will depart Pago Pago at 2310 local time on Tuesday, 28 October 2025.

From this point forward, while Hawaiian Airlines will continue to operate, it will no longer do so with its own operating certificate; instead, it will operate under the Alaska Airlines umbrella.  As a result of this point forward, the HA call sign will be retired, and the airlines will instead operate under a single call sign, AS, placed before the associated flight number for the service, marking a new era.

Specific details of the flight will see HA866 end 95 years of operation under the existing callsign, but for customers, not much will change: all existing tickets will remain valid, and the transition from HA to AS will be automatic.

N370HA will get the honour of operating the final flight; this Airbus A330-200 was delivered to Hawaiian Airlines in April 2014 and named Kuamo’o.  Through a Federal Aviation Administration filing, the message was clear that, effective 30 October 2025, the use of the Hawaiian Airlines ICAO three-letter designation HAL and callsign Hawaiian will cease and be cancelled.  As a result of this ruling, all HAL and Hawaiian aircraft will begin flying under ICAO 3LD and the call sign ASA/ALASKA. However, the FAA noted that in the flight plan remarks for 60, there’ll be a “Hawaiian livery’ noted. 

In October, reporting emerged that the iconic HA code would be removed from the airline’s flights as of April 22, 2026, and that Aeroroutes would flag schedule adjustments on flight numbers commencing October 26, 2025.

That change would result in operating flight numbers, such as HA451/H452 from Honolulu to Sydney, temporarily switching to HA851/852, with the same adjustment across other routes in the airline’s operations.

Here's more detail on that from the Aviationist
