The three order cancellations that Airbus recorded in August comprised two for the A350 from LATAM and one for the A220 from Air Vanuatu. Airbus data shows that the two cancelled A350-1000s were the last two orders held by the Latin American airline group for the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-powered long-haul jet family. LATAM has removed A350's from its operations as part of restructuring under US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In 2015, LATAM Airlines Brazil received the group's first A350-900 from an original order for 27 of the type. The group converted some orders to the A350-1000, but subsequently lost interest in the larger variant and did not put it in service. Data shows that LATAM's remaining A350 fleet comprises three in-storage aircraft, including two managed by lessor AerCap. LATAM is the sole A350 operator based in Latin America Air Vanuatu, meanwhile, has cancelled an A220-300 from its order of two A220-100s and two -300's. The order had been placed in 2019, and deliveries scheduled to start in mid-2020. Air Vanuatu has a Boeing 737-800, an ATR 72-600, three Viking Air Twin Otters and a Britten-Norman Islander. Another ATR 72-600 is on order, in addition to the A22'0s.

US industry trade organisation Airlines for America’s (A4A) member carriers have pledged to produce 3 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for US aircraft operators in 2030. A4A says the SAF goal represents a 50% increase from the one set in March, when members pledged to make 2 billion gallons available in 2030 as part of a commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The carriers will work with government leaders and other stakeholders to reach the goal, the trade group notes. "We are proud of our record on climate change, but we know the climate change challenge has only continued to intensify. Accordingly, A4A member carriers have embraced the need to take even bolder, more significant steps to address the climate crisis," A4A's chief executive Nicholas Calio states.

Air Canada Rouge resumed services on 7 September, operating flights between Toronto and Las Vegas, Orlando and Regina. This follows a temporary suspension of services in spring. The low-cost leisure subsidiary of Air Canada says it will introduce more destinations in September, including Cancun and Tampa. All flights are operated with Airbus narrow bodies, the leisure carrier says. Air Canada Rouge's 39-strong fleet includes nine Airbus A321's with updated cabin interiors. The first of these will re-enter service later this autumn.
