AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoAviation Safety & Accountability: Investigators say the Amazon cargo crash at Miami International killed five people who were in a cleaning-company van struck after the Boeing 767 overran the runway; NTSB data suggests pilots considered a go-around seconds before impact, with no speed brakes or thrust reversers indicated, and pilots are set to be interviewed. US Aviation Policy: The FAA/EMAS debate is reignited as Miami lacks the crushable concrete overrun system used at some airports, raising questions about whether runway-safety standards should change. Middle East Pressure via Aviation: The US Treasury imposed sweeping Iran aviation sanctions, targeting 27 Iranian airlines and related front firms and routes, aiming to disrupt Tehran’s ability to move aircraft, cargo, and personnel. UK Air Traffic Disruption: A NATS flight-processing fault triggered major UK chaos, with Turkish Airlines warning of delays and cancellations as Heathrow and other airports worked through a backlog. Airline Governance Watch: Singapore Airlines is reportedly seeking tougher terms—more influence and governance rights—before any fresh Air India funding. Airline Performance & Deals: Turkish Airlines reported 64 million passengers in Jan–Aug 2026 and also landed a major Liverpool shirt sponsorship deal worth over £300m. Passenger Experience: United Airlines is rolling out a new Economy Plus concept on some long-haul aircraft, blocking the middle seat with a fixed shared tray to give more personal space.
