The EU’s strong stance against Russia has extended to the nation’s airlines following the country’s invasion of Ukraine last week.

5G scepticism is spreading throughout the world and this time it isn’t just the tinfoil hat crowd saying their piece.

Winning the world’s safest airline seems like something all carriers would be proud of, much more so than the notably less coveted “world’s most turbulent airline” award.

In a new development, Virgin Australia has dropped Delta Air Lines and partnered with United Airlines to offer more flights for travellers heading across the Pacific.

Unsurprisingly, the airline’s CEO opted to refer to the Delta variant as “the B.1.617.2 variant” when announcing the new policy.

An off-duty flight attendant has been arrested and charged after exhibiting what has been described by police as “paranoid”, “combative” and “erratic” behaviour.

The passenger allegedly ignored instructions from the flight attendant, started yelling expletives at her and other passengers, and then hit her in the face.

Just when you thought flying in 2020 couldn’t get more stressful, we present you with this perfectly valid reason to wear a rain poncho as well as a mask and gloves on your next flight.

Just in case you need another reason to hate anti-maskers, have a geeze at this video of an unruly passenger’s shocking behaviour.

We can’t promise this week’s Aviation Wrap is all good news, but at least Rex shareholders and Velocity Frequent Flyers have something to cheer about.

Virgin Australia’s imminent emergence out of administration continues to take shape, with the embattled airline flagging more redundancies.

Outside of making a fourth double-shot espresso (as our reporter did), this week’s Aviation Wrap is the best way to kill five minutes.
