Airbus and Boeing snap up deals despite delivery delays
FARNBOROUGH, England (Reuters) -More plane orders flowed in at the Farnborough Airshow on Tuesday despite supply chain pressures on jetmakers and complaints from airlines about delivery delays. Boeing announced deals with Qatar Airways and Macquarie Airfinance, while Airbus secured orders from Japan Airlines and Virgin Atlantic - although much of the business had already been flagged. Qatar Airways also held out the prospect of a "sizeable" order for wide-body jets around the turn of the year, and flydubai told Reuters it was in early stage talks with Airbus and Boeing for its largest ever order.

Japanese government panel proposes air traffic control measures to boost safety after Haneda crash
A Japanese transport ministry panel on Monday proposed a number of air traffic control measures to boost safety, more than six months after a fatal collision between a Japan Airlines jetliner and a coast guard plane at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. The panel recommended hiring more air traffic control staff at the country’s major airports, and introducing supplementary alert systems on the runway and in the traffic control room. The proposal was released in an interim report compiled by a panel of experts commissioned by the ministry, which said that additional staff would reduce air traffic controllers' heavy workloads.
