Ryanair considers pay freezes amid high fuel prices
Ryanair (FR, Dublin International) may institute "temporary pay freezes" to offset a projected EUR2 billion euro (USD2.25 billion) increase in its fuel bill for the 2028 financial year, group CEO Michael O'Leary disclosed in the low-cost carrier's half-year financial report.

Ryanair (FR, Dublin International) may institute "temporary pay freezes" to offset a projected EUR2 billion euro (USD2.25 billion) increase in its fuel bill for the 2028 financial year, group CEO Michael O'Leary disclosed in the low-cost carrier's half-year financial report. With jet fuel prices expected to remain elevated into 2027 and as oil hedges roll off, O'Leary predicts that airfares in Europe will rise to record levels next year. As such, Ryanair Holdings is also considering hardening airport negotiations, lowering crew ratios, and increasing back-office AI use amid a broader review of its costs.

Sudan Airways resumes flights after A320 grounding

Sudan Airways (SD, Khartoum) has resumed scheduled commercial flights with its only aircraft, an A320-200, after it was temporarily grounded pending repairs delayed by a shortage of spare parts in Sudan.
The airline announced on social media that "the technical maintenance work has been successfully completed, allowing the national carrier to take a new step towards resuming its flights".
ADS-B data confirmed that the company-owned 19.8-year-old A320, ST-MKW (msn 3040), resumed services from Port Sudan International to Cairo International on November 3, 2026, after it had been parked since October 30.
The airline, in an earlier statement, had said that flights would resume subject to the arrival of the required spare part and completion of repairs.
The airline operates between Khartoum and Port Sudan domestically, and to Cairo, Riyadh, and Jeddah International regionally, according to ADS-B data.
The airline resumed operations from Khartoum in May 2026, operating its first pilgrimage charter in nine years. The return came two weeks after the Sudanese capital and airport were targeted in a drone attack. Khartoum airport had been closed in 2023 after aircraft parked there were destroyed during militia attacks. It reopened in October 2025.
Sudan Airways has since been working to rebuild its operations. In February 2026, the airline said it expected to receive three new aircraft as part of a wider government-backed plan to rehabilitate and develop the country's transport sector.

US's Fly Alliance sells charter, maintenance certificates
Fly Alliance (KPO, Wilmington New Castle) has sold Part 135 charter certificate #3GJA878N and Part 145 maintenance certificate #WAVR866D to Cove Capital Investments, a company co-owned by Fly Alliance's former owner and co-founder Kevin Wargo, Private Jet Card Comparisons has reported.

Fly Alliance (KPO, Wilmington New Castle) has sold Part 135 charter certificate #3GJA878N and Part 145 maintenance certificate #WAVR866D to Cove Capital Investments, a company co-owned by Fly Alliance's former owner and co-founder Kevin Wargo, Private Jet Card Comparisons has reported.
The deal, which closed on October 30, follows a similar agreement in August, under which Altitude Parts, a Cove Capital Investments-owned company, acquired Fly Alliance's aircraft parts inventory and warehouse facilities.
Fly Alliance's Part 135 certificate covers 18 aircraft, including a Global Express, a Citation Excel, two Citation XLS Gen2s, two Citation Latitudes, a GIV-G300, a GIV, six GIV-SPs, a GV, a Hawker 800XP, a Hawker 800XPi, and a Hawker 900XP. Three Gulfstream Aerospace jets are expected to transition to a new operator.
Both certificates, now held by Cove Capital Investments, will do business as Atelier Aviation, which will be focused on operating large-cabin aircraft.
Cove Capital Investments further holds an ownership interest in Sky Travel, another Part 135 operator which, according to Wargo, will operate alongside Atelier Aviation. Sky Travel manages twelve Hawker 400XPs, three of which are available for charter, and will focus on charter and jet card services under the recently launched Sky Travel Club.
Fly Alliance future
Following the sale, Fly Alliance will continue as a brand, retaining 355 jet card members and 35 full-time employees. The company's formerly managed fleet will be operated by Atelier Aviation and another operating partner yet to be announced.
In mid-2026, Fly Alliance secured a San Marino AOC under Fly Alliance (San Marino) with a Global Express. At the time, the company was seeking an Indian non-scheduled operator's permit (NSOP), then expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, to operate Legacy 600, Legacy 650, and Global Express aircraft.
