Singapore Airlines

Turkey's national flag carrier Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines on Jan. 8 temporarily suspended its scheduled flights to Iraq and Iran.

Turkish Airlines said that due to tensions between Iran and the U.S., the flights to Iraq and Iran will halt until 9.00 p.m. local time (1800GMT) on Jan. 9.

The airlines' flights will not use the airspace of these two countries, it added.

Aeroflot topped the annual ranking for the most punctual airline in in the world for 2019, and Sheremetyevo - for the most punctual airport, Daily Mail reported, citing data from analytics company Cirium.

Singapore Airlines said on May 30 that it will re-launch the world's longest commercial flight in October, a journey of almost 19 hours from the city-state to New York, but it will not be available to economy travelers.

Many people are afraid of traveling by air, even though it is proven that even by car is more dangerous. Aircraft incidents are progressively decreasing, and 2017 has been declared the safest year in aviation history, which is impressive, considering it was the busiest one.

A series of social media users posted messages and photos of hundreds of travellers exiting the building at the airport in west London.

One Twitter user, Ben Smith, wrote: "London Heathrow Terminal 3 currently being evacuated. Fire Alarms going off. Lots of confusion." 

Dubai's Emirates said on Dec. 29 it has reached an agreement with Rolls-Royce over a "technical issue" relating to the engines of Airbus's A380 superjumbo, and confirmed receiving one plane this week.

The carrier also said it "will continue to receive deliveries of both A380s and (Boeing) 777s in 2017."

Lufthansa has signed a route sharing deal with China's flagship carrier Air China , capping off two years of talks that will boost Germany's biggest airline's access to the world's fastest growing aviation market.

A Singapore Airlines plane flying to Singapore has made an emergency landing in Istanbul after running into a flock of storks. 

The Singapore-bound Boeing 777-200 took off from Istanbul Atatürk Airport at 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 17, with 255 passengers and 14 crew members aboard. 

Singapore Airlines on Tuesday started twice-weekly direct flights from Athens to Singapore, every Monday and Thursday.

The service will run to October 9 on Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.

The airline also operates 33 weekly flights linking Athens and Singapore via Istanbul in a code-share partnership with Aegean and Turkish Airlines.
