AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

New Airline Step in Malaysia: Ascend Airways Malaysia got CAAM approval to add passenger operations to its AOC, with its first Boeing 737-800 now cleared for use and three 737s expected under ACMI by end-2026. Safety Rules Tightened: Malaysia’s CAAM issued Safety Directive 02/2026, requiring 100% drug testing for active flight and cabin crew in safety-critical roles, plus more unannounced alcohol/drug checks and stronger screening for security-pass holders. Airline Expansion Watch: Alaska Airlines is adding more nonstop Europe service from Seattle, including Athens and Paris, as it pushes its “global gateway” plan. Connectivity Upgrade: Qatar Airways says it has reached 150 Starlink-equipped widebodies and is the first to operate Starlink on the Boeing 787-9, with rollout across its 787 fleet expected by year-end. Labor Disruption: Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport faced major capacity strain after a wildcat strike shut check-in and arrival procedures for hours, with Netanyahu calling for dismissals. Tech + Data Privacy Clash: A judge delayed Google’s $10M Spirit Airlines data sale after flight attendants raised privacy concerns. UK Disruption: Norwich Airport confirmed a temporary closure due to air traffic control industrial action, urging passengers to check with airlines.
