Few minutes ago, two Riyadh Air Boeing 787 RX8001 (HZ-RXAC) and RX8002 (HZ-RXAA), departed Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport despite a NOTAM stating that RUH would remain closed until 21:00 UTC (00:00 AST) on October 17, 2026. Probably, the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) helped escort them out of the airspace.

Footage showing Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 dumping fuel over Munich yesterday, using its fuel-jettison capability. To do this, the pilots activate the left and right jettison nozzles, go to the FUEL page on the MFD, turn the knob to select the amount of fuel to remain, and then activate the fuel dump.

WATCH: A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (D-ABPQ) sustained substantial damage after its nose landing gear collapsed while parked at the gate at Frankfurt Airport. The incident led to the cancellation of today's LH450 to LAX service as airport and airline teams assess the extent of the damage. Video from the scene shows the aircraft resting on its nose after the front landing gear unexpectedly gave way while stationary. No injuries have been reported, but a technical investigation into the cause of the collapse has been opened.

On this day, at approximately 08:09:05 UTC, Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 (VT-ANB) bound for London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025. The aircraft struck a student hostel just 32 seconds after liftoff. The disaster claimed the lives of 241 of the 242 people onboard, as well as 19 people on the ground, marking the first fatal crash and hull loss of a Boeing 787 in history. According to the preliminary report, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF one second apart. The cockpit voice recorder captured one pilot asking the other why he had cut off the fuel, to which the other pilot replied that he had not done so.

Lufthansa is preparing to say goodbye to the Airbus A340-600. The airline’s final scheduled passenger flights with the iconic four-engine widebody are expected to take place between October 18 and October 25, 2026. This 281-seat giant features 8 First Class suites, 56 Business Class flatbeds, 28 Premium Economy seats and 189 Economy seats. And yes — some of its toilets are located BELOW the main deck. Another chapter of the A340 era is coming to an end. Video: Airshowlover100

BRAKES WERE ACTIVATED DURING A B787-9 TAKEOFF AND THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE RUNWAY AT MUNICH. A preliminary BFU investigation into a Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 occurrence at Munich has found repeated brake pedal inputs during the take-off roll, with braking commands recorded on both sides. The aircraft, bound for Hanoi with 271 passengers and 16 crew, took off at 240.9 tonnes with V1 169 kt, Vr 175 kt and V2 180 kt. At 11:56:15 UTC, just seconds after TOGA was activated, the EAFR recorded rudder pedal input and movement of BOTH left-seat brake pedals. The aircraft continued accelerating, but braking activity was recorded again. At 11:57:12 UTC, the left BSCU recorded a maximum brake command of about 27%, while the right BSCU reached about 17%. The maximum recorded brake-pedal position was 7.2° out of a possible 12.5°. Shortly before rotation, the PM manually increased thrust from 100% to 101% N1. Then came the critical moment. At 11:57:14 UTC, rotation began at just 163 kt below the calculated Vr of 175 kt about abeam the runway threshold. The 787-9 lifted off from the grass beyond the runway 08R threshold. Its main landing gear and tail struck runway approach-lighting equipment, damaging 20 lamps. The aircraft climbed away, but the consequences of the takeoff became apparent. At 11:57:21 UTC, the leading-edge slats automatically extended as the aircraft's stall-protection system activated. At 11:57:22 UTC, TOGA mode was activated. V2 of 180 kt was finally reached at 76 ft radio altitude, followed by landing-gear retraction. The aircraft later returned to Munich after dumping approximately 62 tonnes of fuel. During the subsequent approaches, the crew reported expecting a flat tire on takeoff. Four tires on the LEFT main landing gear were found damaged after landing. The aircraft had suffered substantial fuselage damage when the tail contacted the ground and runway lighting. There were no injuries. The BFU has seized the Brake System Control Units (BSCUs) and Electric Brake Actuator Controllers for detailed examination. The investigation is ongoing, but the preliminary data paints a remarkable picture: brake inputs were recorded during the takeoff roll, braking commands were registered by both BSCUs, the aircraft rotated below the calculated Vr, and the 787-9 left the paved runway surface before becoming airborne. Think about this, a 240.9-tonne Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, accelerating for takeoff, while the brakes were being applied. The final cause and why the braking occurred remains to be determined.
