TAAG Angola Airlines announced it will begin transferring flights from Quatro de Fevereiro International airport to the new Dr Antonio Agostinho Neto International airport (AIAAN) starting 10 November. The carrier says the transition will begin with the Luanda-Cabinda route, operating four daily flights using De Havilland Canada Dash 8-Q400 aircraft. Additional domestic routes to Dundo, Saurimo, Luena, and Soyo will transfer in December 2024, with remaining domestic and international flights moving by the first quarter of 2025.

The Canadian Transportation Agency has lifted restrictions on flights operated by Chinese airlines to the country. On 24 October, the transport agency rescinded a February 2022 order under which Chinese airlines could only operate six round trips between the two countries. The order also prohibited carriers from operating nonstop flights between Canada and Beijing. As of October, Sichuan Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and China Eastern Airlines operate one flight per week, respectively, to Vancouver, while Air Canada operates four flights per week between Shanghai and Vancouver. Separately, Air Canada plans to increase flights from Vancouver to Shanghai to seven flights per week starting 7 December and resume daily flights from Vancouver to Beijing from 15 January, reports CAAC News, adding that Chinese airlines are also accelerating the application of additional flights. In October 2019, Air Canada and Chinese carriers operated more than 100 flights a week between the countries. Meanwhile, flight restrictions between the US and China remain capped at 50 roundtrips per week.

Delta Air Lines has submitted a complaint with the Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia against CrowdStrike in which it alleges that the cybersecurity vendor breached its contractual promises in "a manner that was no less than grossly negligent" amid the technology outage in July that led to the US major cancelling thousands of flights globally. In the lawsuit filed on 25 October, Delta says it is pursuing legal claims against CrowdStrike and Microsoft to recover damages caused by the outage, which the Atlanta-based carrier says total at least $500 million. Delta notes in the court filing: "Since its founding, CrowdStrike has advertised itself as the cybersecurity industry leader. But on July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike forced untested and faulty updates to its customers, causing more than 8.5 million Microsoft Windows-based computers around the world to crash, while also preventing many of them from being able to restart (the 'faulty update')." It adds: "For Delta, the faulty update was catastrophic." A CrowdStrike spokesperson said on 28 October that while it "aimed to reach a business resolution that puts customers first, Delta has chosen a different path". It adds: "Delta's claims are based on disproven misinformation, demonstrate a lack of understanding of how modern cybersecurity works, and reflect a desperate attempt to shift blame for its slow recovery away from its failure to modernise its antiquated IT infrastructure."
