AerCap has agreed to lease 28 new Boeing aircraft to Turkish Airlines. The aircraft, comprising 25 737 Max 8s and a trio of 787-9s, will be delivered between 2024 and 2026, the Irish lessor says. Additionally, AerCap has reached an agreement with the Turkish flag carrier to extend the leases on six used Airbus A330-200s. Fleets data indicates that AerCap also manages five aircraft in service with the Star Alliance airline: three A321s, including two Neos, plus a 737-800 and a 777-200.

A number of airlines are continuing to adjust their services to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International airport for November as Israel's military moves closer towards a ground operation in Gaza. Schedules changes made on 20 October show that in total 316 weekly sectors into and out of Tel Aviv have been cancelled from the November schedule over the week, cutting seat capacity by over 66,000 seats per week. That figure does not include cancellations from Cathay Pacific, which advised on 22 October that it has cancelled its Tel Aviv services until the end of the year. It had already cancelled services to the end of October. Korean Air has also cancelled flights until January, schedules show, and a notice on its website confirms that it has issued a fare waiver for passengers booked on its services to and from Tel Aviv until the end of the year. TAP Air Portugal and Transavia have cancelled flights through to January. Schedules show that Lufthansa Group has adjusted its capacity to Tel Aviv, with it cancelling 21 Lufthansa flights that were scheduled to operate in November, daily Swiss services, and eight Brussels Airlines flights. Those changes reduce Lufthansa's November schedule to Tel Aviv to twice-daily, Swiss to daily and Brussels to six weekly. Austrian Airlines, meanwhile, has halved the number of services it will operate into Israel to daily. Turkish Airlines has removed 61 weekly return services to Israel from its schedule for November, which will be reduced to only twice-daily services per week. Compatriot carrier Pegasus has cut 33 return services but will still operate 10 per week through November. Week-on-week, El Al has not made any changes to its November schedule, while Israir has cut 10 sectors from Tel Aviv. Arkia has added six sectors, but on a weekly basis will operate 1,392 fewer seats during November.

Filipino low-cost carrier Cebu Pacific Air has signed a memorandum of understanding with Finnish renewable fuels producer Neste to explore the supply and purchase of sustainable aviation fuel in Asia Pacific. "Carbon emissions are a pressing concern in the aviation industry. To this end, Cebu Pacific has laid out initiatives to address our emissions footprint, with a primary focus on integrating SAF in its operations," says Cebu Pacific's chief strategy officer Alex Reyes. In September 2022, Cebu Pacific operated its first passenger flight powered by blended SAF from Singapore to Manila. The airline has announced another upcoming SAF-powered commercial flight from Tokyo Narita to Manila on 25 October. The airline aims to transition to an all Airbus A320neo and A330neo fleet by 2028 and will incorporate the use of blended SAF for its entire commercial network by 2030.
