Jupiter teams up with an exceedingly narrow crescent moon for the last time this year in the evening sky on May 27.

In May, four US airports—Chicago O'Hare, Grand Rapids, Long Island, and Portland (Maine)—welcomed their first Avelo service. In O'Hare's case, Avelo switched from Midway, having served that airport for three years. The switch meant O'Hare—among the world's busiest airports—regained HVN flights for the first time in 29 years.

On May 24, a Houston-bound All Nippon Airways Boeing 787-9 operating Flight 114 was diverted to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after a passenger attempted to open an exit door mid-flight. The flight landed safely at the airport, where law enforcement met the aircraft.

United Airlines has commenced nonstop flights between Washington Dulles International Airport(IAD) and Dakar Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) in Senegal, marking its first-ever service to the West African country.

In June, 16 US airports will have flights on the Airbus A340, A380, or the passenger Boeing 747.

Of course, the results will be different at other times, especially in winter.

Since 2014, when Airbus launched the A330neo aircraft family, comprised of the smaller A330-800 and the larger A330-900, the number of operators flying either of the aircraft has steadily increased. While the A330-900 is by far the more popular member of the family compared to the A330-800, the plane maker has steadily added new orders for the A330neo.

An Antonov An-24 has suffered a landing gear collapse at the conclusion of a domestic flight in Russia.

Luckily, there have not been any reported injuries among the plane's more than 50 occupants.

Lufthansa will not operate the Boeing 747-400 between Frankfurt and New York JFK in winter 2025/2026. While the German giant had scheduled flights on the variant, they were removed in the latest schedule update. This is unsurprising, as it did not use the 371-seater last winter either. Elsewhere, the 747-400 returned to Boston on May 1, while Lufthansa has confirmed the return of the Airbus A380 to San Francisco.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Last week, a TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330flying from Newark to Lisbon had to land with just one engine running after an in-flight shutdown. Compounding matters was the fact that the widebody twinjet, which had left the New Jersey hub almost two hours late, also experienced a hydraulic failure while descending towards the capital city of Portugal. Subsequently, its crew issued a declaration of 'PAN PAN.'
