- Government shutdown could stand in the way of Delta adding the Airbus A220 to its operating certificate Delta says it won’t, but the FAA isn’t responding to questions… because of the shutdown.
- Boom Supersonic has closed a $100 million funding round investors sure think they’ll be able to deliver on a supersonic jet.
