Phoebe helped show the world that women were just as capable as men in repairing and maintaining aircraft.

In the summer of 1990, Keith Blank helped in the cleanup and repair of a damaged aircraft caused by the accidental closing of a circuit breaker during maintenance of the fuel system resulting in a major fuel spill. The incident stayed on his mind even after he left the industry and eventually he developed the idea for a positive lockout tool that he called Skylox®.

Comlux Completion in late May inducted its third ACJ320 neo, and the interior installation is underway.
"The cabin aesthetic is really focusing on a residential-type environment, a calming interior," said Daron Dryer, CEO of the Indianapolis facility. Boasting "an extremely quiet" interior, Comlux is developing a cabin for the neo incorporating "large backlit Roman shades that will give the impression of large windows rather than the small aircraft type," said Dryer, and ceiling chandeliers — "fixed, not swinging, of course," he added.

Lufthansa Group said that it is seeing increased demand for short-term and long-term bookings and has therefore taken the decision to return another 200 aircraft to service between now and the end of October.
By then, the group will be operating 380 aircraft — or roughly 50% of its fleet. That it will only offer 40% of pre-COVID-19 capacity shows that it is not yet reaching pre-crisis utilization levels with the in-service part of the fleet.

But as these come back, or are replaced by temporarily converted passenger aircraft, there may be only moderate demand for new cargo aircraft from most carriers. For most air cargo demand tracks with GDP growth, and that looks to be weak for a while.
