LaGuardia Runway 4/22 shut after depression found, echoing prior sinkhole

LaGuardia Airport temporarily shut Runway 4/22 after an approximately two-inch depression was found during an airfield inspection, triggering testing and repairs with Runway 13/31 handling traffic overnight and officials aiming to return 4/22 to service as soon as safe. The disruption follows a large sinkhole that closed the same runway last month, contributing to flight delays amid reduced operations and travelers being advised to check with their airlines for status.

EU to include carry-on in ticket price from 2027, ending bag fees

EU Parliament approves rules requiring airlines to include both a small personal item and a larger hand luggage in the standard ticket price from 2027, effectively ending carry-on fees; a free personal item and a wheeled bag up to 7 kg and 100 cm total size will be allowed, with discounts for not taking extra baggage, and other passenger-rights provisions cover seating next to children, compensation for long delays (300 euros on long-haul flights, 600 euros for delays over four hours or cancellations), better assistance for missed connections, and bans on certain fees like fees for spelling corrections or name changes and on no-show penalties; rules aim to boost consumer rights but may raise ticket prices and have faced 13 years of political wrangling.

EU flight-delay rules gain stronger consumer protections while keeping payouts intact

The EU is nearing final adoption of EC261 reforms that preserve current compensation levels (€250-€600) while adding consumer-friendly rules: airlines would have to proactively notify eligible passengers, provide a compensation-claim link within 48 hours of scheduled arrival, disclose the disruption cause (including extraordinary circumstances), and pay or justify refusals within 30 days. The changes are expected to win final approval by June 15, 2026, though industry groups warn costs could rise substantially and fares could follow.

LaGuardia Grind: Shutdown-Driven Lines and Flight Delays

A partial U.S. government shutdown leaves about 47,000 TSA agents unpaid, causing hours-long security lines at airports like LaGuardia and delaying flights. The disruptions were intensified when an Air Canada plane collided with a firetruck on landing, forcing the airport to shut down for hours and delaying hundreds of flights. Travelers and families wait in departures, some optimistic a funding deal will pass, while many end up canceling or rescheduling trips amid the chaos.

Snow Slows SEA: Ground Stop Transforms Seattle Airport into a Delays Hub

Snow at Seattle-Tacoma International prompted a ground stop for arriving flights, causing widespread delays and several cancellations. Departures were allowed to continue, but inbound traffic was sequenced to space landings. The FAA extended the stop into the afternoon with about 47-minute inbound delays and roughly 1 hour 6-minute departure delays; a later ground delay extended into the evening (average around 62 minutes), leaving some travelers waiting for hours or facing cancellations.
