Southwest Airlines on Wednesday announced that the carrier flew 6.5 billion revenue passenger miles in November 2010, a 10.7 percent increase from the 5.9 billion RPMs flown in November 2009.
The annual event showed off the wares of 35 aircraft, ranging from the AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter to the Piaggio P.180 Avanti turboprop to Embraer's biggest business jet, the Lineage 1000.
An American Airlines flight from Miami to San Francisco made an emergency at McCarran Las Vegas International Airport Friday afternoon after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.
In a move that both offers added comfort to passengers at a premium while extending the range of their 737s, WestJet Airlines will leave the middle seats empty in the first 8-10 rows on certain flights.
