    UK CAA: Paramotor pilot ordered to pay £8,000 after injuring passer-by

    Following a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) investigation, paramotor pilot David Soos pleaded guilty to endangering a person. On 16 September 2024 he operated a paramotor trike recklessly in a farmer's field in Reedness, striking a passer-by and causing fractures to the victim's tibia, fibula and ankle. On 25 September 2026 Hull Magistrates' Court ordered Soos to pay £8,000 compensation to the victim. The CAA notes that paramotor and powered hang glider operators need no pilot licence or airworthiness certification, but must still comply with rules of the air, including minimum heights and distances from people and property, taking off and landing clear of congested areas, and staying out…

    Brazil's ANAC publishes AVSEC practices manual for cabin crew

    Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) published the Civil Aviation Manual for Cabin Crew, aimed at guiding airlines and airport operators on civil aviation security (AVSEC) requirements applicable to cabin departments. It provides explanations, examples and commentary on ANAC regulations covering onboard provisions and cabin service, and compiles the applicable regulations in its appendices. Because it contains Restricted AVSEC Information (IRA), the manual is not publicly accessible; under the need-to-know principle, access requires specific ANAC authorization, and the agency sends it directly to air and airport operators.

    UK CAA sets scope of independent review into NATS technical incident

    The UK Civil Aviation Authority published on 25 September the terms of reference for its independent review into the NATS technical incident of 8 September 2026, which disrupted travellers and saw more than 2,000 flights delayed, cancelled or diverted.

    Brazil ANAC Resolution 800 Takes Effect on Unruly Passengers

    Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) Resolution No. 800 took effect on 14 September 2026, setting rules for handling unruly passengers at airports and on board. Conduct is split into three severity tiers — unruly, serious and very serious — with fines of up to BRL 17,500; very serious acts can also trigger a no-fly list barring domestic flights for six to 12 months.

    ACI Guidance on Reducing Runway Overrun Consequences: RESA and EMAS

    Airports Council International (ACI) World published guidance on reducing the consequences of runway overruns, noting that while overruns are infrequent their consequences can be severe and that runway excursions remain one of ICAO's global high-risk occurrence categories. It says airport leadership must ensure every runway end has appropriate protection, that residual risk is understood, and that improvement decisions are funded. Protection options include runway end safety areas (RESA), which provide additional space beyond the runway strip with dimensions set by ICAO Annex 14, and engineered materials arresting systems (EMAS), which passively absorb energy to decelerate an overrunning ai…

    UK CAA and charity call for end to laser attacks on air ambulance helicopters

    The UK Civil Aviation Authority and the charity Air Ambulances UK have jointly called for an end to laser attacks on air ambulance helicopters during UK Air Ambulance Week. Such attacks occur every month and can cause temporary blindness, distraction and even long-term eye damage to pilots; because most air ambulances operate with a single pilot, the risk is significant and critical patient care can be delayed. There were 94 attacks on emergency helicopters in 2025 and 35 in the first half of 2026. Targeting an aircraft with a laser is a criminal offence carrying up to five years in prison or an unlimited fine.

    EASA Publishes Report on Aviation Safety and Socio-Economic Factors

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published its second report under Article 89 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, assessing the interdependencies between aviation safety and socio-economic factors affecting safety-critical personnel. Based on surveys, occurrence data from the European Central Repository, and operational datasets, the report found no substantive safety concerns or systemic causal relationship between socio-economic factors and adverse safety outcomes. However, fatigue and lack of communication were consistent factors, and data limitations were identified. EASA will enhance collaboration with Member States and industry to improve data collection and safety promotion.

Meanwhile, 87% of travelers report their company cut back on previously allowed items over the past 12 months, including overnight stays, business class, and non-client travel.
