Norse Atlantic Airways reports that its AI chatbot, Freya, now handles over 60% of routine customer enquiries and has become its leading sales channel for ancillary products. The airline is expanding AI use across crew planning and corporate communications while shifting towards a more flexible route network, including increased services to Thailand and South Africa. Norse is also expanding charter and ACMI operations, with two Boeing 787s scheduled for deployment with Pakistan International Airlines from November. Meanwhile, a strategic review involving potential partnerships, mergers or ownership changes remains ongoing, amid continued fuel-price pressures.

Bolivia's flag carrier, Boliviana de Aviación (BoA), is reportedly seeking funding to acquire additional Boeing 737NG aircraft, although the financing status remains unclear. The airline currently operates 15 aircraft, comprising 12 Boeing 737s, two Airbus A330-200s and one CRJ200, with no outstanding aircraft orders. Of these, five are owned outright, one is under finance lease and nine are managed by lessors, including FTAI Aviation, Deucalion Aviation and Castlelake.

Airbus is preparing to seek board approval to increase A350 production beyond its target of 12 aircraft per month by 2028, driven by strong market demand. The expansion would require a second final assembly line, potentially outside Toulouse, incorporating greater automation and improved manufacturing efficiency. Airbus is also evaluating a further stretched A350 variant, although production growth is expected to be necessary to meet demand for the existing A350-900, A350-1000 and forthcoming freighter models. A decision is expected in the near future.
