On 7th July, an Air Canada Airbus A320-200 was on final approach to land at San Francisco International Airport in night conditions. As the aircraft descended, the flight crew questioned their landing clearance with Air Traffic Control (ATC) as they could see a number of unidentifiable lights on the assigned runway. ATC confirmed the clearance however; another pilot reported that the Airbus flight crew that they had mistakenly aligned with the taxiway adjacent to the runway. This prompted the flight crew to initiate a go around procedure before re-positioning and performing a safe landing. The Canadian Transport Safety Board has launched an investigation and reported that the Airbus overflew four aircraft awaiting departure on the taxiway with the vertical separation being reduced to less than 100 feet above the first aircraft.

Singapore Airlines, the controlling owner of both Tigerair Singapore (Originally Tiger Airways TR/TGW) and Scoot (TZ/SCO), announced that the two airlines will be consolidated into a single carrier under the Scoot name and branding. As a result, Tigerair aircraft will be repainted in Scoot livery and colours; however the TR flight code will replace Scoot’s TZ code. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of July, with both airlines set to utilise a single reservation, ticketing and scheduling system. Tigerair Taiwan and Tigerair Australia will continue to operate under their respective brandings.

Korean airlines; Asiana Airlines and Korean Air Lines, both received fines of 900 Million Won and 600 Million Won respectively, due to a number of incidents experienced over the past two years.

Another event that was brought into question was when a Korean Air flight crew opted to continue a landing in Guam, despite the deteriorating weather conditions.
