The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it plans to investigate a close call involving JetBlue and Southwest aircraft in Washington on Thursday. 

JetBlue Airways told FOX Business that Flight 1554, which was flying from Washington, D.C., to Boston, had to abort its takeoff because another aircraft had attempted to cross the runway. 

The acquisition of Budapest Airport could conclude "within days", Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in parliament on Monday, signalling an end to months of negotiations with majority owner AviAlliance.

Since Orban took power in 2010, his government has boosted Hungarian ownership in energy, banking, telecoms and the media, and has been planning to buy the airport for years.

"We hope that within days, the airport... will be owned in majority by the state", he said. Hungary's government submitted its binding offer in September 2023.

The Atlanta Hartsfield, Dallas/Forth Worth, Denver and Chicago O'Hare airports ranked among the worst in the U.S., according to airport reviewer Skytrax, and received average ratings for staff service and product facilities. 

While Skytrax, a review and rating website based in the U.K., declined to give any U.S. airports one or two-star ratings, several received just three stars. According to their website, three stars are given to airports "where staff service standards or the product facilities are fair or average."

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Spirit Airlines is suspending service to and from New Hampshire this spring.

Good luck if you're hoping to get an Uber or Lyft on your way home from the airport on Valentine's Day.

That's because drivers in 10 cities say they won't be working between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time on Wednesday. It's part of a nationwide effort among rideshare drivers trying to bring attention to problems they say they face on the apps, from low pay to having their accounts suddenly deactivated.

Gig drivers from across the country are expected to walk off the job Wednesday to demand better pay.

According to Justice for App Workers, which represents thousands of gig workers in the U.S., DoorDash, Uber and Lyft drivers from across the country will participate in an organized strike on Valentine’s Day.

“We’re sick of working 80 hours/week just to make ends meet, being constantly scared for our safety and worrying about being deactivated with the click of a button,” the group said last week.

Thousands of drivers for ride-sharing platforms Uber, Lyft and food delivery app DoorDash are expected to go on strike across the United States on Valentine's Day for fair pay, drivers' groups said on Monday.

The demonstrations are set to take place about a week after Lyft said it would guarantee weekly earnings for drivers, a first in the U.S. ride-hailing industry as it looks to lure more drivers to its platform.

"We are constantly working to improve the driver experience," Lyft, which is set to report quarterly results on Tuesday, told Reuters on Monday.

A flight from Israel to Russia had to be diverted Sunday — and still faced riots at the next airport where it landed — when pro-Palestinian mobs stormed the facilities seeking to attack Jewish flyers, reports said.

The flight initially bound for Makhachkala International Airport in the heavily Muslim Russian Republic of Dagestan was diverted after scores of people waving Palestinian flags took over the facility upon learning of the flight from Tel Aviv, according to the Moscow Times.

Russian police have arrested 60 people after an antisemitic mob stormed an airport in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan on Sunday, in an incident the Kremlin blamed on “external interference” by the west.

Law enforcement authorities in Dagestan, a mostly Muslim area in the North Caucasus Mountains, said on Monday they had identified 150 of the rioters who broke into the airport in search of passengers arriving on a flight from Tel Aviv.
