Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, arriving from Bangkok with 175 passengers and six crew members, veered off the runway during landing and collided with a fence, igniting a massive fire. Emergency responders have confirmed at least 28 fatalities, with rescue operations ongoing.

South Korea's acting president, Choi Sang-mok, has ordered comprehensive rescue efforts. Footage of the incident is circulating on social media, showing the aircraft engulfed in flames and thick black smoke. Emergency services, including 32 fire trucks and several helicopters, were deployed to control the blaze and assist in rescue operations.

Russian airports grind to a halt due to snowfall: passengers on the brink At Domodedovo, a plane got stuck in a snowdrift and was unable to take off. The airport is literally buried under snow: specialised equipment can’t cope, and staff have been sent to clear runways with shovels. Meanwhile, Sheremetyevo is facing mass delays and flight cancellations. Disruptions began after 8:00 p.m. and are still ongoing. Aeroflot passengers complain of a collapse in flight handling. People are stuck on planes for hours after landing — no jet bridges, no possibility to disembark. Over the loudspeakers, officials announce a “non-standard situation”, but give no timelines. Baggage is a separate hell — suitcases haven’t been delivered for more than 5–6 hours. There are reports of scuffles with airport staff. At the same time, Sheremetyevo insists the airport is “operating normally” and that the “situation is under control”. On the ground, it looks slightly different.

Flight was "causing concern to civil authorities": Two Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled on the evening of July 24 to intercept Qatar Airways flight QR23 from Doha to Manchester after the aircraft became a cause for concern to UK civil aviation authorities upon entering British airspace. According to the RAF, a Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) was launched as a precaution. The Typhoons intercepted the Boeing 777-3DZ(ER) over the Nottingham area, although the escort was reportedly discontinued before the aircraft reached Manchester. The flight landed safely at Manchester Airport at approximately 7:45 p.m. BST, where emergency services had been placed on standby as a standard precaution. Authorities have not officially disclosed the reason for the interception. However, aviation tracking reports and industry sources suggest the incident may have been triggered by a temporary loss of radio communications between the aircraft and air traffic control, though this has not been confirmed by the RAF or Qatar Airways. The RAF said only that the flight was "causing concern to civil authorities" and confirmed that the incident was resolved without further issues, allowing the aircraft to taxi normally to its gate after landing. Civil aviation authorities are expected to review the event in coordination with Qatar Airways. #aircraft #airspace #airlines
