LONDON - British Airways has teamed up with ZeroAvia, a leading innovator in decarbonising commercial aviation, in a project to explore how hydrogen-powered aircraft can play a leading role in the future of sustainable flying. The collaboration will see ZeroAvia embedded in the heart of the airline.

LONDON - A British Airways jumbo jet has found a new role as a film set, saving it from the scrap heap where dozens of other retired jumbos have ended up. BA said that "Whisky Victor" will fly to Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, southern England, later on Thursday, where the airport will preserve it as a commercial TV and film set.

LONDON - British Airways' last jumbo jets bade farewell to London but cloud and driving rain prevented a rare synchronised dual take off for the "Queen of the Skies" which brought long-haul flights to the masses. CEO Alex Cruz said it was "a difficult day for everybody at BA as the aircraft leaves our home at Heathrow for the very last time".

DENVER - Boom Supersonic on Wednesday unveiled its first demonstrator aircraft XB-1, which is scheduled to begin flight testing next year, in a milestone for the U.S. startup planning a commercial airliner that can conquer the sound barrier. British Virgin Group pre-ordered the jet.

SINGAPORE - Airbus unveiled a curvaceous aircraft design that blends wing and body, designed to slash carbon emissions by some 20%. The European planemaker has been carrying out flight tests of a 3.2-metre-wide (10.5 feet) technology demonstrator, code-named Maveric, at a secret location in central France since last year.

VANCOUVER - The pioneers behind the world's first fully electric, commercial flight say they have made history, but climate-change activists see electric air travel as a dream yet to come true. The Harbour Air seaplane - which seats six - took off close to Vancouver in Canada on Tuesday and flew for less than 15 minutes.

SYDNEY - When I signed up to join a trial run of the world's longest commercial flight, I expected an exercise in endurance but not steak for breakfast and a physical work-out regime. This is a personal record of flying QF7879 - the trial of a Qantas nonstop service from London Heathrow to Sydney.

SYDNEY - Qantas Airways may not place an order for planes capable of non-stop London-Sydney flights until early next year, the airline's chief executive said on Friday after a 19 hour, 19 minute test flight landed in Australia's biggest city. The Boeing 787-9 even had hours of fuel in tanks upon arrival in Australia.

VIENNA - Austrian Airlines (AUA) is the smallest long-haul airline within the Lufthansa Group with twelve aircraft in this segment, one half being Boeing 767s, the other 777s. The motto "small is beautiful" fits AUA perfectly.

SINGAPORE - There I go again on board the longest scheduled flight in the world from Singapore to New York! I recall very vividly how I did this torture once before in 2004, because yes, that’s what it was back then. It took me 18 hours and eleven minutes on an A340-500 from New York to Singapore.

SINGAPORE/HAMBURG - It will have been ten years and barely two months since the world’s first A380 passenger flight when the new cabins of the first freshly delivered Airbus A380 for Singapore Airlines (SIA) are seeing their premiere.
