JetBlue Airways is expanding its network in the New England region by adding 20% more seats this northern winter from Boston Logan International and other airports, primarily connecting to leisure destinations in Florida. The carrier will operate daily seasonal flights from Providence in Rhode Island to Fort Myers and Tampa from 27 October, while daily year-round flights to San Juan will begin on 28 October. Daily year-round flights between Presque Isle in Maine and Boston will also start from 5 September. The airline will also launch year-round daily flights from Manchester-Boston Regional airport to Orlando from 25 January, and seasonal flights to Fort Myers and Fort Lauderdale will be operated thrice a week and four times weekly from 23 January and 24 January, respectively. Moreover, the airline is also planning to commence thrice-weekly seasonal service between Portland International and Orlando from 28 October. With this, the airline that its seats at Providence will nearly triple this northern winter compared to last, while seats at Hartford will increase 30%. The airline will average 18 new daily departures from New England this winter, with six new routes between New England and Florida. Beginning in October, JetBlue will launch nonstop service from Buffalo Niagara International to Palm Beach International airport on a seasonal basis. JetBlue will also commence flights for the first time from Long Island MacArthur airport, offering daily flights to Orlando, and four-times weekly flights to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach starting in October. The airline will also add a second daily Boston-Phoenix route, with both services to be operated by aircraft featuring its Mint business class product.

Air India plans to operate its new Airbus A350-900 aircraft on flights from Delhi to New York JFK starting 1 November and to Newark in New Jersey from 2 January. The carrier says the A350s will feature 28 private suites in business class and 264 economy seats, all equipped with the latest Panasonic eX3 in-flight entertainment system. The airline is also upgrading interiors on 60% of its flights to the USA, including deploying Boeing 777-200LRs with improved cabins on most San Francisco routes. Air India currently operates 51 weekly flights to five destinations in the USA and the company has taken delivery of six A350-900 aircraft since early 2024 and has ordered 34 more A350s, including 20 A350-1000s.

Boeing has joined a consortium of investors and strategic partners led by Clear Sky, an investment firm dedicated to aviation sustainability. The US airframer and Clear Sky are "joining forces to accelerate sustainability solutions for aviation", the companies say in a joint press release. As an initial project, the companies will help in testing and advancing Firefly Green Fuels' "cutting-edge technology" to increase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production in the UK. Firefly is planning to transform sewage waste into SAF through hydrothermal liquefaction, which it says uses heat and high pressure to turn the waste into biocrude oil and biochar that can be used as a fertiliser. "SAF produced from this abundant, yet untapped feedstock reduces lifecycle CO2 emissions by more than 90% compared to traditional petroleum jet fuel, according to independent analysis," Firefly adds. The consortium will invest in the new technology, subject to final diligence. Boeing will provide training, direction and facilitation on testing that will "accelerate the qualification of this new route to SAF". Brian Moran, Boeing's chief sustainability officer, states: "SAF offers the greatest opportunity to decarbonise aviation, and the industry's collective challenge of bringing it to scale globally requires new sustainable pathways. "Clear Sky combines many years of investment expertise with knowledge on aviation's decarbonisation challenges. Firefly's technology holds transformative potential as the SAF feedstock, sewage waste, is accessible in all regions of the globe." In the UK a pending mandate to achieve 10% SAF in the jet fuel mix by 2030 will require 1.2 million tonnes of SAF by 2030, increasing to seven million tonnes by 2050, according to ICF's UK Net Zero Carbon Roadmap. "Boeing and Clear Sky's investment demonstrates progress on the roadmap given the available UK sewage waste can meet a significant proportion of the UK's SAF requirement," the companies state. James Hygate, Firefly's chief executive, states that with Clear Sky and Boeing's support, his company is "propelling toward our goal of commercial production in the UK by 2029, and rapid replication across the globe". In addition to supporting Firefly, Boeing and Clear Sky are "embarking on an international investment partnership focused on sustainability solutions that span aviation and adjacent industries such as chemicals and materials", the companies say. Areas of focus include SAF, alternative propulsion, carbon removal and advanced materials and recycling.
