Oman Air and Finnair have launched a codeshare partnership connecting Oman Air passengers to Helsinki via eight European cities, and to Melbourne via Bangkok. The agreement, Oman Air’s first new codeshare since joining oneworld in 2025, includes reciprocal frequent-flyer benefits. The airlines describe it as the first phase of a broader collaboration.

Virgin Australia has applied for 5,086 weekly seats in each direction to Indonesia, seeking to increase Denpasar flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and launch 17 weekly Perth–Denpasar services by 21 June. Qantas has separately applied for 4,539 seats for Qantas and Jetstar. As the bids exceed the remaining capacity under the bilateral agreement, Australia’s International Air Services Commission will assess public benefits before allocating the seats.

On 15 October, the UK Commercial Court granted FitzWalter Aviation a worldwide freezing order as it seeks to recover about US$250 million in judgments over VietJet’s 2021 termination of leases on four Airbus A321s. The court found a risk that value tied to VietJet’s aircraft orderbook—including pre-delivery payment refunds and potential sale-and-leaseback profits—could be dissipated through transfers to a Cayman entity. It also cited VietJet’s decision to stop flying nine aircraft to Singapore after a local seizure order as evidence of anti-enforcement steps. VietJet had paid only US$2 million toward the debt.
