But as Boeing faces multiple inquiries and audits in the United States and abroad, it has repeated...

By Elodie MAZEIN New York (AFP) - Le régulateur américain de l'aviation civile (FAA), très critiqué après le crash de deux avions Boeing en 2019 et en 2018, semble de nouveau être entraîné dans le maelström des problèmes de qualité du constructeur américain. Visé par moult enquêtes et audits aux Etats-Unis et à l'étranger, Boeing rappelle à l'envi qu'il travaille "en toute transparence et sous la supervision de la FAA".

Their lawsuit has been met with a counterclaim from The Port of Oakland asking a judge to rule its airport's new moniker -- which replaced "Metropolitan Oakland International Airport" -- is not a copyright infringement. "C...

By Fulya OZERKAN Istanbul (AFP) - Mieux qu'un doudou: Kuki, 6 ans et Alita, un an et demi, accueillent en frétillant les passagers anxieux à l'aéroport d'Istanbul, l'un des plus fréquentés au monde.

A Russian Su-30 fighter jet producer bought back its own military equipment previously sold to foreign partners worth over $400 million in 2022 and 2023, the Russian independent outlet Moscow Times reported on May 7, citing customs data.

Irkut, renamed Yakovlev Corporation in 2023, also produces Yak-130 trainer aircraft and civilian airliners. Its main military product, the Su-30 fighter, is actively used by Russian...
