Turkish Technic and Rolls-Royce have formally begun construction of an engine overhaul facility they will jointly operate at Istanbul airport. Disclosed in May last year, the plan for the site envisions repair and overhaul capabilities for Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84 and -97 engines – used on Airbus A350-900s and -1000s, respectively – and on A330neo-powering Trent 7000s. It is set to become operational by the end of 2027 and to have capacity for 200 engines a year. Rolls-Royce's president civil aerospace Rob Watson describes the launch of construction as a milestone in its efforts to effect a significant increase in MRO capacity by 2030. Fleet data shows that Turkish Airlines has 33 A350-900s in service, and another 57 on order along with 15 A350-1000s and five A350 Freighters. The Star Alliance carrier's fleet of 405 aircraft includes 61 A330ceos but no A330neos. Turkish Technic executive chair Ahmet Bolat states that the new engine shop "represents a major expansion of our technical capabilities and service capacity to continue providing the highest-quality services for our customers all around the world".

The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing an airworthiness directive (AD) to address "fluctuations with aircraft pitch due to excessive looseness of the horizontal stabiliser" on certain Boeing 737NGs. The AD would affect the -600, -700, -700C, -800, -900 and -900ER aircraft, the FAA advised. "It would require operators to measure movements of the left and right horizontal stabiliser pivot hinges and jackscrew and perform repairs as necessary," the FAA adds. Operators must comply before 42,500 total flight hours or within eight years since new, the agency says. This AD would affect 1,987 US-registered aircraft and 6,528 aircraft worldwide, according to the FAA.

Embraer handed 32 E-Jets to customers in the fourth quarter of 2025, bringing full-year deliveries to 78. The Brazilian airframer had a target range of 77-85 commercial aircraft deliveries in 2025, up from 73 in the previous year. Fourth-quarter deliveries comprised 15 E195-E2s, three E190-E2s and 14 E175s. In the third quarter, Embraer had delivered 20 jets: 11 E195-E2s, two E190-E2s and seven E175s. Last year's fourth-quarter deliveries were up by one aircraft versus the same period in 2024. Embraer's total deliveries across 2025 – including business and military aircraft – came to 244 units, versus 206 in 2024. The manufacturer's defence arm delivered three KC-390 transports and eight A-29 attack aircraft last year, of which two KC-390s and four A-29s were delivered in the fourth quarter. In 2024, Embraer had handed three KC-390s to customers, without any A-29s. The company's business aviation division in 2025 delivered 155 aircraft – at the top end of its guidance of 145-155 executive jets across the year and up from 130 in 2024. Last year business aviation deliveries comprised 86 Phenom light jets and 69 mid-size Praetor aircraft.
