Air Algerie has expanded its Airbus A330-900 fleet with the acquisition of two former Air Belgium aircraft through Airbus Financial Services, increasing its in-service A330neo fleet to five aircraft. The additions complement the airline's ongoing fleet renewal programme, which includes a further five A330-900s and 18 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on order, strengthening its long-haul and regional capabilities.

PNG Air has completed its transition to an all-ATR turboprop fleet following the retirement of its remaining De Havilland Canada Dash 8 aircraft after decades of domestic service. The airline now operates a fleet of ATR 72-600 and ATR 42-600 aircraft, with additional units on order, supporting its fleet modernisation strategy and continued expansion across Papua New Guinea's domestic network.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has extended its conflict-zone advisories, instructing airlines to avoid the airspace over Iran, Iraq and Lebanon until 31 August 2026 due to ongoing regional security risks. While EASA has eased broader restrictions across parts of the Middle East following a reduction in immediate tensions, it continues to classify these three airspaces as high risk because of the potential for military activity and misidentification of civil aircraft. The advisory is expected to result in continued flight rerouting, longer journey times and increased operating costs for airlines serving Europe–Asia and Middle East routes.
