Finnair has selected Luxembourg-based SES to provide high-speed in-flight connectivity for its 18 on-order Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with deliveries beginning in Q3 2027. The system will combine OneWeb low-Earth orbit satellites with SES geostationary capacity to deliver reliable connectivity, including streaming, across Finnair’s European network. The decision comes amid growing adoption of SpaceX’s Starlink by European competitors, including airBaltic, SAS, EasyJet, Lufthansa Group and Air France-KLM.

Air France plans to increase North American seat capacity by 6% during its November 2026–April 2027 winter schedule, operating up to 725 daily flights to nearly 170 destinations worldwide.

However, security concerns continue to disrupt Middle Eastern operations, with Riyadh and Dubai services temporarily suspended.

ANA Holdings has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire full ownership of RegionalPlus Wings, the parent company of Air Do and Solaseed Air, through a share exchange targeted for 1 April 2027, subject to approvals. Both airlines will initially retain their brands while integrating business planning, revenue management and procurement, with a potential future consolidation under the ANA brand. The proposed acquisition follows Japan's relaxation of airline investment restrictions and aims to address rising operating costs and declining domestic demand. Separately, ANA reported record first-half revenue of $8.8 billion, with operating profit of ¥88.1 billion ($554 million). International passenger revenue increased 21% and cargo revenue surged 79%. ANA raised its full-year revenue forecast to ¥2.87 trillion and net profit forecast to ¥99 billion, despite higher fuel costs.
