Here’s what they’re telling their own travelers internally. Some other communications show the window as 1:30 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. rather than just 1:55 a.m. to 4. It’s framed as a “technology upgrade which will restart our systems” to maintain “better functionality and reliability.” <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggj0qBoextngB6jp6Dl299osnRvuqWEUGO4k2-CIi24J_2-CdAXxjOOlhRzLvZXkhfqw8_Z7kf-a75o8xCdmBlUsynZpdISHccTgfLVQXvpgjWO0RCgqwz_9cBSjDornsQXzj5boMdk8ECbEDs3eUsAGSDfTZ5ucOBX6g6TIdMXcjmWlV85nQnG_XptUHZXR0u8qddar2KCq1-18kRw0sCDw==&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> Gary Leff/View From the Wing <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> American moves to win back gates at O'Hare American Airlines isn’t wasting any time in seeking to win back gates it lost last year at O’Hare International Airport. The Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier notified Chicago aviation officials that it wants to start the annual process of re-allocating the gates that airlines use to park aircraft while passengers board and disembark. Under a new lease agreement between the carriers and the city that was signed in 2018, the gates are subject to a use-it-or-lose-it provision. The city awards gate space based on the amount of flying done by each carrier during the previous year.

The agency’s LAX Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Christian Estoque, 39, for suspicion of operating an unregistered aircraft. Investigators said that Estoque is not a registered pilot. In the criminal complaint filed on Wednesday, investigators believe Estoque and his girlfriend stole a plane from Auburn Municipal Airport on Jan. 3. Authorities believe the couple tampered with the aircraft’s transponder to conceal their flight path. <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggJdohKezIexPl4ItYAfCNYEYcHJmg7A1OL81qRXycsx0K7SFMGFO-Q5SPDsx89XpnITeRJxvd3hILRjLsEs3xEzfKXvioUL_8cBdpIdP0fJyS0RJAFgAs5-tiXJttiVAvdaLW2x17bT7nM0AB8Oi7RcLG4gFJ0zo9zVnQ6nHzSGByJHKmxRTVjcui8ci0Fo-X&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> CNN <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> Second measles case in LAX Airport traveler confirmed by LA County Public Health officials For the second consecutive day, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials have confirmed a measles case in an international traveler.

The National Transportation Safety Board has been pushing for the change since 2018, and the United States is behind much of the world in the requirement for commercial planes. The voice recorder captures transmissions and sounds in the cockpit, including the pilots’ voices and engine noises and can be crucial in understanding why airplane crashes occur. <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggcA85eFY8nE3vqcWmzKplYJmZZ4_xEZ7_MRWyellKIjkQ6_GAX1UKoMV2Z-ck5qP5hqIwFOeoJTUM-qh8ndALyy85Bxp8dUoo0T0ruw9u1lk5ao9kv4ez_k2kXaOXhsgO4WC9YTxO5NRVUL3iwzWYr19y2LzRqQ44xedVI3Elvq4PQNUR8wiJGvoiBZY6TsY2rZI8HlPQ4znmrN6r2THzXw==&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> David Shepardson/Reuters <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> FAA safety alert warns airlines about rising risk of space debris As if weather fluctuations and crowded skies weren’t enough, commercial airlines now have to watch what’s happening above them. In early January 2026, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a new Safety Alert for Operators - known as SAFO 26001 - warning airlines and flight crews about the rising risks linked to space launches and rocket reentries. With more spacecraft going up and coming back down, the agency says rare but serious “catastrophic failures” could send debris raining through the atmosphere, creating unexpected hazards for aircraft. <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggaq86WpOd4khuQCC-xlywe8dAkrpcXIyAJIClVfanBGMdtti0PjItTAgfzzoOjLbNMbSS7GZUHolzkdd9r2QvYxrahQ7uC9yhwaSKb5va_ORPk9Cy5J_UtWyahTspmf6eA9-fj6m-Xu0KvtBr9kDa4GxTSkbM7EvCR7OudmElEN8HhF1KLi0HJ3KpGfPV_wsto5_CYYQTR6lP6QT20zDmZg==&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> Laurie Baratti/TravelPulse Government Shutdown After air travel chaos, FAA shuts down - again The Federal Aviation Administration is shut down - less than three months after the last spending interruption prompted an air travel nightmare for American flyers. This time, the appropriations lapse could be short-lived and contained to a weekend, meaning serious disruption is unlikely at the FAA. But yet another shutdown, so soon after weeks of frustration for travelers this past fall, prompted concern - even before it began - from the airline industry and the union that represents air traffic controllers, who continue to work without pay during funding stalemates. <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggWYF8JTJgCiqVJkC_21hT7S231UKoh6kdhP34wX_1eKFDW8mp09C8nao8tdEHURu6jBoXvGTVbCFYS0EWWtd6sYc-zmSHU46Ai7M5CyEq0YwxuS4wmOEiggkn7Mfh9v3gQ414S0gC10rInLMkrSUdxHr7QgeRveZCuZKBoei3QKoVQQqMbjlVuIYLcpJUp-8DNFHBU1tBO7k=&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> Sam Ogozalek/Politico <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6ggxmKdLIuiA0drfN9zOJ8fAjYw4HanNC7qWY_Nho-3-Fgwg7hmnzubpUO8jhmuOTEK2Nj6E2pbPw0B0DJIbUXHNDy6AMxKN9TqlMvpRj2sUJ-kovY6wgXI4cC2TFKrxNFNyhoqSHwe3cL7BwA0zLED6kk_AGldVXyG5m4XRTbnjB8odd04xRDoC5kYpylyvI6ADFZgFQfgUXM18xxequG3ww==&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> Zach Wichter/USA Today Monday @ the Memories <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0014Z88AJt-lQfvoC5HGFIFjxg28Nvk5ArJIOw_dgqaGDYb5J72EhLy45L7EXLJm6gg9N_UvJluHagxJm3zKgjsV90-xNYXwv5ru-l1lpBet1Dse4s4uxvqmwg9_D_9_-uTq1hPFB52Qqh3fdZYl0pHgeQRhystnK1W_Z5hJQpQzzpA2oON1DpGkHJsnTnaqNIH&c=e7RhQEgrketZMbTCGiUBCIiqQKnV30d_RkPrl6FuxYPbBMnNEnC6PA==&ch=SVqcHTNtOuuGcHrGUEiGy51usQU3UH64iiWsSeXvl1SfDGztlamYcA==> LA International: The Song - 1971   Join Our Mailing List] <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> <mailto:[email protected]> Email Us <mailto:[email protected]> Send News Items   <https://files.constantcontact.com/8729c86a001/6da2d101-3e4e-4ee7-ae70-9bf4e29f4214.png?rdr=true> Eye on L.A.
