Alaska Airlines (AS, Seattle Tacoma International) expects Boeing to secure certification for the B737-10 by the end of September, with first delivery planned for spring 2027. Alaska expects to begin passenger services with the type in April to mid-May, subject to completing its own certification work. Out of a total order of 163 B737-10s, it anticipates taking twenty-two B737-10s in 2027 and thirty in 2028. According to ch-aviation data, it also has five more B737-8s on order and already operates twenty of the type, and it operates eighty B737-9s.
Boeing has confirmed that B737-10 certification is expected "very soon", referring ch-aviation to CEO Kelly Ortberg's comments at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference earlier this month. Ortberg said all flight and other testing had been completed, with only three deliverables remaining for the FAA and the programme now in the documentation phase. He added that EASA had recently flown the B737-10 and was "very complimentary". ch-aviation has also asked Alaska Airlines for comment.

US’s ATSG sells Omni Air International

US lessor Air Transport Services Group has announced the sale of passenger charter carrier Omni Air International (OY, Tulsa International) to OAI Holdings, LLC., for an undisclosed sum, as part of its strategy of “investing in and building out our core air cargo and related aviation services businesses,” president and chief executive Greg Mays said.
The charter carrier operates 14 aircraft, namely three B767-200(ER)s, eight B767-300ERs, and three B777-200ERs, ch-aviation fleets data shows. Eleven of these are owned by ATSG via its lessor Cargo Aircraft Management, while two are owned by Team 125 (both B767-300ERs) and one by AerCap (another B767-300ER).
OAI intends to build on Omni’s established position in the passenger ACMI and charter markets while supporting the company’s next chapter and long-term development. On closing, ATSG’s portfolio will be centred on air cargo transportation, aircraft leasing, and related maintenance and logistics services, both companies said.
The acquisition of Omni Air International is pending regulatory approval, and the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 or early 2027.
ATSG, which last year was acquired by American investment firm Stonepeak in a transaction valued at approximately USD3.1 billion, now owns ABX Air, ATI - Air Transport International, leasing company Cargo Aircraft Management, bundled services provider Airborne Global Solutions, training firm Airborne Training Services, MRO Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services, and PEMCO Conversions.
ch-aviation has reached out to ATSG for comment on the immediate fleet plans for the group following the sale. It was not immediately available.

FAA ends single-pilot operation for certain Citation models
The United States Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice prohibiting single-pilot operation (SPO) of certain Citation 550 and Citation 560 models, citing widespread non-compliance, safety concerns, and inadequate oversight of training providers.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration has issued a notice prohibiting single-pilot operation (SPO) of certain Citation 550 and Citation 560 models, citing widespread non-compliance, safety concerns, and inadequate oversight of training providers. Published on September 28 and effective September 29, the notice covers the Citation, Citation I, Citation S/II, Citation Bravo, Citation V, Citation Ultra, Citation Encore, Citation Encore+, and United States Navy Citation 552 T-47A models. Exemptions held by current operators will be rescinded in a separate action.
SPO exemptions for these models have been granted since 1984. At the time, the FAA found no data indicating a degradation in safety between one- and two-pilot operations. Following a review conducted in 2024, however, it identified numerous instances of non-compliance among exemption holders and found that Part 25 CE-500 aircraft operated single-pilot had approximately twice the accident rate of comparable Part 23 CE-500, 510, and 525 aircraft. The FAA further raised concerns that pilots could continue single-pilot operations without realising that a training provider's exemption had expired or been revoked, resulting in regulatory non-compliance.
