South Korean carrier T'way Air will rebrand as Trinity Airways during the first half of 2026 in a move aimed at more closely aligning it with its controlling shareholder, Daemyung Sono Group. The airline revealed the new branding on its website and says that it will "gradually introduce visible changes that enhance our group’s unified image and synergies". "Trinity Air represents a symbolic starting point where various sectors of the hospitality industry converge to create new synergies. It reflects our commitment and determination to complete a journey of possibilities through unity," it adds. Daemyung Sono, which primarily operates hotels, acquired control of T'way Air in March after taking a 46% stake in T'way Holdings, which has a 28% interest in the airline. That added to Daemyung's 26.8% stake held directly in the carrier. It previously also held a stake in Air Premia, but dropped plans to merge the two carriers in May and sold its stake in that airline to Tire Bank. T'way Air operates a fleet of 44 aircraft, including 26 Boeing 737-800s, five Max 8s and six Airbus A330-200s, Cirium fleets data shows.

JetBlue has flown an Embraer 190 for revenue service for the last time. On 9 September, JetBlue flight 190 departed New York JFK and arrived in Boston, "the same cities where JetBlue's E190 service first took off in 2005", the New York-based carrier says. JetBlue chief operating officer Warren Christie served as captain for the final E190 flight. Christie had been captain on the inaugural JFK-Boston flight. JetBlue adds that Christie was joined on the 9 September flight by several original crew members. The carrier notes that the flight marks the official retirement of the E190 from JetBlue's fleet. Cirium data shows that on 9 September, JetBlue flight 190 departed JFK at 12:40 local time and arrived at Boston Logan at 13:38. The E190 (MSN 19000433, tail number N329JB) was built in 2011, and delivered to JetBlue in May of that year. It is scheduled to be purchased by Azorra in February 2026, Cirium data shows. JetBlue notes that the E190 "played a pivotal role" in expanding its reach. On 9 September 2015 it had 60 E190s in service, Cirium fleets data shows. The carrier adds that its final E190 flight coincides with the delivery of its 50th Airbus A220. "To date, JetBlue has received 52 of its 100 A220 aircraft on order, simplifying its fleet to two types: the Airbus A320 and A220 families," JetBlue says.

Russia's United Aircraft Corporation has completed a first flight of Yakovlev Superjet fitted with a full suite of domestically supplied systems, including PD-8 engines, to replace Western-made equipment on the 100-seat aircraft. In April, UAC operated a first flight of a PD-8-powered Superjet, using a 2018-vintage production airframe (MSN 95157) that had initially been equipped with the type's previous standard PowerJet SaM146 engines – which had been jointly produced by Russia's United Engine Corporation and Safran – and featured a range of other Western-made onboard systems. UAC/UEC parent Rostec says the fully import-substituted flight-test aircraft (MSN 97004) "was created in serial production, in the target form that is planned for delivery". In addition to powering the aircraft with PD-8 engines, Rostec has found local sources for the avionics, landing gear, auxiliary power unit, integrated control system, power supply, air conditioning and fire-protection equipment. The first flight was conducted on 5 September from the assembly line in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and lasted 1h, Rostec says. It adds that 24 serial aircraft are "in production at various stages of readiness". "Russia has been and remains an aircraft manufacturing power capable of creating modern aircraft both in international co-operation and without the participation of foreign partners," the group adds. Superjet chief designer Kirill Kuznetsov states that installation of local equipment will "simplify the production process and maintenance of the aircraft". Yakovlev regional aircraft director Alexander Dolotovsky notes that the Superjet import-substitution programme is "entering the serial production launch stage", adding: "The programme team, which includes more than 140 first-tier supplier enterprises, has worked hard to ensure that the first aircraft built using serial technologies takes to the skies." Deliveries will begin after completion of certification tests and approval by the Russian federal air transport agency Rosaviatsia, says Rostec.
