Delta flight returns to Phoenix after bird strike
A Delta flight bound for Utah had to return to Phoenix after suffering a bird strike.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says Flight 1232 took off from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport around 8:40 a.m. Monday on its way to Salt Lake City.
He says the MD-90 hit one or more birds “a considerable distance” from the airport, and the pilot declared an emergency. The plane landed at Sky Harbor at 9:01 a.m.
FAA rejects night curfew at Burbank airport
The FAA has rejected a petition by the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport for a night curfew between 10 p.m. and 6:59 a.m. for flights into and out of Bob Hope Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Monday it rejected a request for a flight curfew at Bob Hope Airport because it would burden commerce.
Local officials have tried for decades to restrict flights at the Los Angeles-area airport to reduce noise.
Boeing’s S.C. 787 decision: What will suppliers do?
Now that Boeing has made the decision to open a new assembly facility for the Dreamliner, will the suppliers in the Puget Sound area follow the move?
For those suppliers, the decision may not mean the loss of current jobs, but a lost opportunity for future jobs. Suppliers in the Puget Sound region will likely hire fewer new workers in the future than they would have if a second 787 line were built here, and might consider additional locations or satellite offices in South Carolina, observers said.
