For those who need to travel between Madrid and Newark, NJ (for New York), there's good news, with Iberia planning to spin up a new route for the Summer 2026 timetable. The new service will operate daily from 29th March 2026, operating between Madrid and Newark Liberty International Airport with a daily service. This new flight will complement the existing two daily frequencies the airline already operates to John F. Kennedy International Airport, with three flights a day serving the region. The new service will operate as the late-evening service, allowing for a business day in either city before heading to the airport for a night flight.

In 2026, Lufthansa will celebrate a significant milestone - 100 years since the founding of the first Lufthansa in 1926. How is the modern-day Lufthansa going to celebrate? With paint. A lot of it, as they give some of their fleet a new look. To mark this special occasion, the crane airline is taking off with a unique “anniversary fleet” that combines tradition and innovation in an impressive design. The most important sub-fleets of Lufthansa will receive their own special livery in the iconic 100-year look: the blue fuselage will be adorned with a white crane whose wings merge into the wings.

Under the selected plan, the runway would be up to 3.5km long and require a new road tunnel under the airport.

As the evenings get darker quickly, and the cold spells come to chill to the bone, it's time to look back at a very busy week on the blog. Yes, it's Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond Dusk over Solihull  Dubai Air Show It was a busy week at the Dubai Air Show, with plenty of orders - yet tinged with sadness due to the death of a pilot who crashed in a fighter jet demonstration. H Here's our coverage from the show, with some headlines pulled out.

Editor's note: The original article was seemingly swallowed by the publishing platform. We've re-posted it with a little update inside. With supply chains and delivery times having been less than optimal recently, Emirates and Safran have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring a manufacturing and seat assembly unit to Dubai. The joint industrial cooperation, the first of its kind, will initially concentrate on Business and Economy Class seats for cabin retrofit projects (such as the seatsets for 111 extra aircraft announced today), with plans to expand to line-fit in the future.
