Air Mauritius has issued a request for proposals for the lease of an ATR 72-500 or -600 turboprop. A notice on the African carrier's website states that the RFP was issued on 10 November and closes on 24 November. It does not give details as to the duration of the lease or other commercial conditions the airline is seeking. Data shows that Air Mauritius has three ATR 72-500s in storage: two on lease from Nordic Aviation Capital and a third owned aircraft.

US carrier Spirit Airlines has launched domestic flights from San Antonio in Texas to Las Vegas in Nevada and Orlando in Florida. The two routes are being served on a daily basis, the Florida-based airline says. Spirit also plans to commence daily services from San Antonio to Baltimore/Washington in Maryland and Fort Lauderdale in Florida on 8 March 2023.

Airbus has disclosed a multimillion-dollar investment in Carbon Engineering, a Canada-based direct air carbon capture (DACC) specialist. The investment amounts to "a double-digit million CAD [Canadian dollar] figure". The investment will help to fund Carbon Engineering's research and development of DACC technologies at its facility in Squamish, British Columbia. The technology sucks carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere using high-powered fans. The CO2 can then be either permanently stored in geologic reservoirs or used to produce power-to-liquid sustainable aviation fuels, says Airbus. Removing CO2 from the atmosphere in this way "would allow the aviation sector to extract the equivalent amount of emissions from its operations directly from the air, thereby counterbalancing residual emissions", the European airframer asserts. The investment represents a "key part" of Airbus's global climate strategy, it adds, alongside several other technological pathways. "We are proud to be investing in Carbon Engineering, reaffirming our commitment to the use of direct air carbon capture as a two-fold solution for the decarbonisation of the aviation industry," states Karine Guenan, vice-president of Airbus's "ZEROe Ecosystem". Carbon Engineering chief executive Daniel Friedmann adds that the company's DACC technology "provides a scalable, affordable solution to decarbonise aviation".
