UK regional carriers Loganair and Aurigny have moved to take over routes previously operated by Blue Islands following the latter's cessation of operations. Loganair will operate rescue flights on routes from Jersey to Guernsey, Exeter, Bristol and Southampton, and also, subject to governmental approval, from Guernsey to Southampton. From Guernsey, Aurigny will operate two daily Jersey flights and up to three daily Southampton flights until 17 December. The carrier says long-term schedules for both routes will be announced in the coming days. Fleets data shows that Blue Islands operated four ATR 72-500 turboprops and one -600. Two of the ATR 72-500s were leased from Falko and one from Abelo. Jetstream Aviation Capital leased the -600 to the Channel Islands-based airline. Blue Islands is the second UK-based regional carrier to have suspended operations in recent weeks, following the collapse of Eastern Airways in late October.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has lifted all flight reductions at 40 airports from 17 November at 6:00. The lifting of flight restrictions follow "detailed reviews of safety trends and the steady decline of staffing-trigger events in air traffic control facilities", according to a 16 November statement. “I want to thank the FAA’s dedicated safety team for keeping our skies secure during the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history and the country’s patience for putting safety first. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, controllers have returned to their posts and normal operations can resume,” states US transportation secretary Sean Duffy. FAA had on 14 November lowered the required flight reductions at 40 airports from 6% to 3%, effective 15 November at 06:00, adding that it would evaluate over the weekend if normal operations could resume. Prior to that, the FAA first initiated a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 locations across the country from 7 November to deal with air traffic control staffing pressures due to the government shutdown which ended on 12 November.

Air Algerie has taken delivery of the first of eight Airbus A330-900s from the airframer. The North African carrier had ordered five A330-900s and two A350-1000s in 2023, but subsequently switched the A350s to A330-900s. Its first A330-900 is configured with 18 business, 24 premium economy and 266 standard coach seats. Airbus says the new long-haul twinjets will "play a key role" in the airline's expansion and enable new transatlantic and Asian routes. Cirium fleets data shows that Air Algerie has nine A330-200s fitted with GE Aerospace CF6 engines. A330neos are exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000s. The airline's fleet additionally spans 32 Boeing 737NGs (including one freighter), one Max 8, three A320s, 15 ATR 72 turboprops and a Lockheed Martin L-100-30 transport. In addition to the A330neos, Air Algerie has eight Max 9s on order.
