Singapore to classify turbulence as a "state-level operational safety risk"

Singapore has become the first country to classify turbulence as a "state-level operational safety risk," ranking it alongside midair collisions and runway incursions. 

The move follows a string of serious incidents, including a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 flight last year where violent jolts killed one passenger and injured dozens more. Officials link the growing danger to climate change which is fueling more severe jet streams and clear-air turbulence.

Clear-air turbulence is especially feared because it strikes without warning in seemingly calm skies. Unlike storm-related bumps, it can't be spotted on radar. Researchers say cases are rising globally, with projections showing sharper increases in the years ahead.

Regulators warn that even routine flights could see higher risk, pushing airlines to tighten seatbelt policies and adjust cabin service.

Technology is playing catch-up. New Al systems, live data-sharing pplatforms and predictive models aim to give pilots more warning. But experts stress the simplest defense against turbulence remains unchanged: stay seated with your belt done up tight but comfortable. 

Turbulence is basically the rapid and unpredictable movement of bodies of air due to a disruption in airflow. It can be caused by various factors, including mountainous terrain, jet streams, and storms. Aviation authorities classify it into several types, depending on how and where it develops. One of the most familiar examples is wake turbulence, the swirling air left behind when a large aircraft passes through an air mass.

The larger the aircraft, the more severe the wake, which is why smaller planes are often given spacing alerts by ATC.

Convective turbulence is another type that forms inside thunderstorms, where strong updrafts and downdrafts create unstable conditions. Then there is mountain wave turbulence, which develops when strong winds are forced over a range and cascade down the leeward side, producing long waves of disturbed air that can extend for hundreds of miles.

Though turbulence can be uncomfortable and scarey for passengers, for pilots, it is part of normal operations, and they are trained extensively to deal with it. They study meteorology, aerodynamics, and aircraft handling as part of their Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) qualification, according to BGS. Before every flight, the crew receives a weather briefing that highlights areas of potential turbulence along the route.

Top 10 best airports in Australia / Pacific in 2025

Skytrax has ranked the best airports in the Australian / Pacific region for 2025 in its "Best Airports 2025" by region category of awards.

The accolade takes into consideration the efficiency of operations at each airport, the facilities offered to passengers, and overall connectivity of the hub with the main city centre that the location serves.

10. Cairns International Airport – CNS/YBCS
Cairns Airport captures the laid-back Australian culture, feeling less like an airport and more like a port to paradise. The recent upgrades brought more seating, a children’s play zone, and a quiet room. The terminal stays cool and breezy, perfect for holiday crowds, and shops sell reef gear, tropical souvenirs, and snack essentials, while cafés overlook palm trees and small aircraft on the tarmac. The lounges offer comfortable reprieves before heading into the rainforest or reef, and the airport is generally well-connected with the city via taxis and hotel shuttles.

9. Christchurch International Airport – CHC/NZCH
Christchurch Airport is the South Island’s main hub. A 2025 terminal update refreshed the food court and walking routes. The natural light floods the interior, and views of the snow-capped mountains can peek in when the weather allows. The cafes serve great coffees and light Kiwi fare, and shops focus on regional crafts and travel basics. The Air New Zealand lounge offers cosy seating, panoramic views, and calm vibes, while airport transport links include buses, shuttles, and taxis.

8. Nadi International Airport – NAN/NFFN

The terminals are fresh and have clear signage, making it easy to navigate at both domestic and international wings. Inside, there’s a growing range of food outlets and coffee spots, plus lounges from Qantas, Virgin, and international airlines offering showers, Wi-Fi, and hot meals. The airport’s location means long-haul flights to Europe and Asia operate from Perth, so it’s often the first Australian stop for overseas visitors. The transport into the city is straightforward, with a direct train and plentiful taxis. The spacious design and natural light give it an open, airy feel, making it a comfortable base for journeys across Australia or beyond.

4. Kingsford Smith International Airport, Sydney – SYD/YSSY

United crew told mom to remove baby's ventilator

UNITED BOEING 787-9 N26952 (MSN 36403)

Passengers on a recent United Airlines flight were shocked when a young mother claimed she was humiliated for trying to keep her son alive. Melissa Sotomayor, whose 21-month-old son relies on a ventilator and tracheostomy tube after being born prematurely at 22 weeks, said flight attendants demanded she disconnect his life-supporting devices before takeoff. "They are keeping him alive," she pleaded, presenting medical documents from his doctors and the airline confirming he was cleared to fly. However, instead of compassion, she said she faced threats of removal from the plane and accusations of violating FAA guidelines.

Melissa shared that the situation escalated when the captain confronted her, labeling her "a difficult customer" and arguing the equipment was unsafe. In that moment, as her son's fragile body depended on every breath from the ventilator, she felt the heavy judgment of those tasked with ensuring passenger safety. Another crew member even told her, shockingly, that her son would "be okay until we're in the air." Her refusal to comply wasn't out of defiance; it was the only thing protecting her son from disaster. A nearby passenger tried to console her, apologizing for the treatment she faced, but the humiliation had already taken its toll.

The flight eventually departed more than an hour late. United later issued an apology, but she says it rang hollow and lacked compassion after being made to feel like a burden while caring for a medically complex child. 

Her heartbreaking story serves as a painful reminder that behind every policy and procedure are real human lives -- and in this case, the innocent breath of a child who should never have been questioned.

Afgan boy survives hiding in wheel well of a A330

A 13-year-old Afghan boy remarkably survived a perilous journey, flying from Kabul (KBL/OAKB) to Delhi (DEL/VIDP). Instead of traveling in a regular seat on the Kam Air Airbus A340, he hid in the wheel well of the wide-bodied jet for the entire flight.

Afghan officials reported that the youngster, allegedly from Kunduz city in northern Afghanistan, was found wandering on the tarmac at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after the plane arrived from Kabul on the 22nd of September 2025. 

Kam Air flight RQ4401 took off from Kabul Airport at 7:56am local time and arrived in Delhi at 10:33am local time after a flight of 1 hour and 37 minutes. The boy, found wandering on the tarmac in Delhi, was detained by Indian security personnel and taken for questioning. He was reportedly deported on the Kam Air flight back to Kabul which departed Delhi at 12:47 the same day. According to local reports, the boy told officials in India that he had made the trip "out of curiosity.'

The boy informed the Indian authorities questioning him that he had concealed himself in the central landing gear compartment of the plane. The A340 features a pair of wheels on a single bogie positioned under the central fuselage between the wings to support the aircraft's belly. The boy claims it was in this wheel well where he hid.

According to the newspaper, the boy had snuck into Kabul airport, trailing a large group of passengers, and stowed away in the aircraft's rear wheel well. Upon further inspection of the aircraft's wheel wells at Delhi Airport, airport staff also discovered a small, red- coloured audio speaker belonging to the boy.

Qantas Boeing 737 makes Mayday call over the Tasman

A Qantas Airways flight, QF 141, reported to ATC that they had a fire alert, which led the pilots of the Sydney (SYD/YSSY) to Auckland (AKL/NZAA) flight to issue a Mayday call before safely landing at Auckland airport earlier today.

The Boeing 737 pilot made the emergency call after receiving intermittent signals of a possible fire in the cargo hold, according to a statement from the airline. Preliminary investigations revealed no fire in the front cargo hold, and company engineers will inspect the aircraft to identify the cause.

A spokesperson confirmed that all 156 passengers aboard the flight had disembarked safely. Auckland airport stated that emergency services were on standby for the incoming flight reporting issues but noted that the airfield has since returned to normal, with only minor delays to some flights.

Taiwan has updated regulations for Australian travelers.

This information is perfectly timed, as my wife and I will be going to Taipei in a few weeks flying on EVA, so I need to follow the new regulations.

Taiwan is now joining Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand in mandating that all visitors, including Australian travelers on holiday or business trips, fill out a digital arrivals card before entering the country.

The new Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) takes effect on the 1st of October 2025 and must be completed within 72 hours before landing in Taiwan. However, it can also be filled out at the last minute upon arrival, with free Wi-Fi and devices provided at the airport.

A spokesperson for Taiwan's National Immigration Agency stated that paper arrival cards will still be available for "exceptional situations," but the country is transitioning away from them to simplify the immigration process.

Filling out the Taiwan Arrival Card is simple and hassle-free, with no fees required. Travelers just need to provide their passport, contact details, flight, and accommodation information. For group travel, one person can complete the form for up to 16 people. 

China Airlines and EVA Air operate direct flights from Australia to Taipei, while Starlux is considering expanding its network to include Australia. 

Qantas flight drops from 21,000 feet in 4 minutes

QANTASLINK EMBRAER E190AR VH-XVU (MSN 19000078) 

A Qantas flight traveling from Darwin (DRW/YPDN) in the Northern Territory to Cairns (CNS/YBCS) in far north Queensland made a rapid 21,000-foot descent in four minutes after a cockpit warning light triggered an emergency response on Monday morning.

Flight QF1889, operated by an Embraer E-190, had just taken off from Darwin when the crew encountered a pressurization alert. The pilots promptly initiated a controlled descent from 31,000 feet to 10,000 feet, stabilizing the aircraft shortly after.

Passengers described the drop as being terrifying or horrifying though no injuries were reported. "It felt like we were descending rapidly. People were frightened, but the crew remained very calm," one traveler shared with local media.

Qantas later confirmed the event, stressing that the descent was precautionary and that its pilots are trained extensively for such scenarios. The airline added that the jet would undergo a full engineering inspection before returning to service.

At 6.30am the aircraft departed from Darwin's runway 11. 

At 6.54am it was cruising at 31,000 feet.

At 6.58am it was cruising at 10,000 feet.

At 7.00am the aircraft turned back for Darwin. 

At 7.43am the aircraft landed safely on runway 11.

Here in Australia, we are known for our strong aviation safety record, and this incident highlights the strict standards crews follow when technical alerts occur in flight.

Jetstar criticized for 'faulty' scales as passengers face $65 excess baggage charges.

Jetstar has rejected claims that its scales are inaccurate after several passengers complained about being charged extra fees as they boarded flights. Travelers reported receiving inconsistent weight readings from different scales at Wellington Airport, leading to unexpected charges right before boarding.

JETSTAR AIRBUS A321-251NX VH-OYV (MSN 12159)

Some passengers claimed their carry-on bags were within the 7kg limit, only to discover at the gate that portable scales showed they exceeded the weight threshold. As a result, they were forced to pay an additional $65 excess baggage fee or be denied boarding.

A passenger who flew from Wellington (WLG/NZWN) to Auckland (AKL/NZAA), weighed his carry-on bag at 5.44kg when he checked in and again in the boarding lounge at 6.18kg. But when he reached the portable scales at the boarding gate, his bag came in at 7.5kg - forcing him to pay a surcharge.

"I asked to speak with the supervisor, and the supervisor came out and simply handed me an EFTPOS machine," he said. Another passenger shared a similar experience after flying with the same airline. Despite twice staying under the limit, the portable scales at the gate weighed her bag at 7.5kg.

'They said I'd have to pay the $65, and I said, 'No, that's not happening,' she said. The passenger was forced to repack her bags to avoid the fine. 'I didn't lose money, but for me it's a matter of principle. These scales are either out of calibration or there is something wrong with them,' she said. Another couple said the gate scales showed their luggage was 1.6kg heavier than a set of scales in the main airport building. 'We got a reading of 6.9kg in the downstairs terminal and then up here it was supposedly 8.5kg,' Sarah said.

Jetstar said there was no problem with its scales. (but of course they would say that)

'We employ a contract company that services, maintains and calibrates our baggage scales throughout the country every year,' cabin manager Simon Davey said

I, myself, have been caught up in this situation at Hobart airport. I always make sure I am under 7kg. Weighed it at the airport and was 6.8kg. At the gate, 7.6 and I had no choice to pay the $65.00 

Monday plane spotting at Brisbane Airport

Brisbane has recently started receiving the Qantas Boeing 787-9 on a regular basis. I’ve been tracking their 787 in the 100 Year livery for a while and knew it was arriving from Los Angeles as QF16. (Although scheduled for 5:15 am, it typically lands around 4:45 am.) I also knew it was departing for Auckland at 8:20 am as QF119. So, my wife, daughter, and I left home at 7:00 am, made the 40-minute drive to the airport to see this aircraft, and stayed until 11:00 am.

Here are a few photos I captured.
