"lion air"

The Department of Airports is overseeing a steady increase in the number of routes and flights offered by two airlines, while new routes will open after the fourth phase of lockdown easing.

Thai Lion Air said it would help bring home Thais residing in various cities in China, where air transportation is still allowed, under the airline’s “Fly them back home” project, free of charge between February 5 and 8. 

Washington- As US authorities continued to resist pressure Wednesday to ground the Boeing 737 MAX following the latest deadly crash, reports from American pilots surfaced who reported issues with the plane late last year.

A lawsuit filed in Chicago blames Boeing for the deadly Lion Air crash off the coast of Indonesia that killed all on board, claiming the manufacturer's airplane was "unreasonably dangerous," a US law firm announced Wednesday.

A Lion Air jet that crashed last month should have been grounded over a recurrent technical problem and never permitted to make the fatal flight, Indonesian authorities said Wednesday in a report that took aim at the carrier's poor safety culture.

Questions swirled Wednesday about how Boeing had failed to tell airlines and pilots about changes to an anti-stall system suspected in last month's fatal crash in Indonesia.

Indonesia on Saturday called off the search for passengers of a Lion Air plane, almost two weeks after the jetliner plunged into the Java Sea killing 189 people on board.

As the investigation into last week’s crash of a Lion Air jet into the Java Sea is ongoing, another aircraft belonging to the low-cost carrier was involved in an accident, as its wing rammed into a lamp post on the apron of Fatmawati Airport in Bengkulu on Wednesday evening.

The crash of Lion Air flight JT610 is another bad advertisement for Indonesia’s airline industry.

Jakarta - Indonesian investigators said they were homing in on the black box from a crashed jetliner after locating its "pings" on Wednesday, two days after the jet crashed shortly after take-off with 189 people on board.

Following the Lion Air’s JT 610 crash on Monday in Indonesia, which resulted in the death of all 189 people on board, people took to social media to offer condolences on Instagram of the ill-fated flight's flight attendant who was one of the victims.
