WestJet will be the key customer for CAE's Alberta Training Centre of Excellence for Aviation and Aerospace in Calgary that is scheduled to open in 2028. The carrier has signed a 15-year training agreement that will offer initial and recurrent training to pilots and cabin crew for its Boeing 737 Max and NG, 787 and De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400s. The centre will have eight full-flight simulators, cabin trainers and several digital learning tools, WestJet states. The centre will also partner with Mount Royal University on research and development initiatives. "WestJet's commitment to being the first commercial airline customer at the Alberta Training Centre of Excellence is testament to our investment in our current and future WestJetters and in Calgary as an aviation hub," says WestJet chief executive Alexis von Hoensbroech. "This 15-year contract is a significant commitment that will ensure our people receive the highest standard of training for years to come, and we're very pleased to join forces with CAE, a global leader in aviation training and fellow Canadian company, to bring this project to life." The training deal follows WestJet placing an order for 60 737 Max 10s and seven 787-9s that takes its backlog with the US manufacturer to 123 aircraft.

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.
