This airline is prepped and ready for Thanksgiving travel crowds
American Airlines is prepared for the Thanksgiving travel period
Chicago O'Hare International Airport

The Thanksgiving travel period is one of the busiest times of the year, from Tuesday, November 26, to Monday, December 2. This year, the TSA estimates it’ll screen 18.3 million people, representing an increase of 6% from 2023. Terminals will be crowded, and on-time flights will be at a premium.

However, American Airlines is prepared after a punctual October, when it canceled fewer flights than major competitors and bested its records for on-time departures and arrivals. Not only that, but it’s ready for winter weather, with employees trained for de-icing and extra capacity at hubs like Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD).

New government report calls out these airlines before hearing next week
Government report details airline fees
Passengers on airplane

Today, a Senate subcommittee report calls out airlines for charging passengers “junk fees” for seat selection or carry-on bags, and racking up billions of dollars in the process. For seat selection alone, five airlines more than $12 billion between 2018 and 2023. In the past, that “unbundled cost” was included with a standard ticket. 

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations issued the critical report ahead of a hearing next week, where executives from Delta, Spirit, Frontier, United, and American will testify.

The Boom XB-1 reaches new milestone, paving the way for supersonic commercial aviation
The Boom Supersonic XB-1 continues journey to supersonic speeds
Boom Supersonic XB-1

Boom Supersonic is on a mission to bring Mach 1 speeds to commercial aviation. The company got closer on November 16 when its XB-1 aircraft approached supersonic flight. The XB-1 is a test bed for the company’s planned Overture aircraft, designed to bring the speed of sound to everyday air travel. Boom continues its measured, step-by-step approach to making that a reality.
On its latest flight, the Boom XB-1 neared supersonic speeds

The XB-1’s November 16 test flight was its eighth of ten planned sessions. During the eighth flight, Boom measured the aircraft’s handling with its stability augmentation system switched off. The XB-1 passed the test, showing that a pilot can safely control high-speed flight in case of a system failure. During the 54-minute flight, the maximum altitude was 25,040 feet, and the maximum speed was Mach .82. With each subsequent test, the aircraft continues to fly faster and higher as it approaches the sound barrier. 

Boom Supersonic commented on the test: “Designing a plane that is both very stable and very fast is a challenge, especially for high-speed aircraft like XB-1. One of the major accomplishments of the XB-1 program was converging on a design that does not rely on computerized augmentation to stay safe in the air, unlike many modern fighter jets that use automated systems to make constant adjustments to the flight path in order to maintain stability. While XB-1 does have this kind of system, called the stability augmentation system, the team is assessing the aircraft with the system off at increasing speeds—this is a requirement prior to supersonic flight that XB-1 successfully cleared during this flight.”
