Auckland, New Zealand: On October 14, 2025, Air New Zealand Flight NZ5095, a regional ATR turboprop aircraft, was forced to return to Auckland approximately 40 minutes into its flight to Taupō. Pilots received a system alert indicating a potential technical issue, prompting a precautionary return to base for engineering inspection. The aircraft landed safely at Auckland Airport at around 5:35 PM local time, without declaring an emergency. No injuries were reported among passengers or crew. Following the return, the aircraft underwent a full inspection by engineering teams. While the exact nature of the system alert was not disclosed, Air New Zealand confirmed that the decision to return was in line with standard safety procedures. Affected passengers were rebooked on the next available flights to Taupō, and the airline provided necessary assistance to minimize disruption. This incident follows a similar occurrence on October 5, 2025, when Flight NZ3, a Boeing 777-300ER operating from Los Angeles to Auckland, returned to Los Angeles shortly after takeoff due to an electrical fault affecting the aircraft's power distribution system. Passengers experienced rising cabin temperatures and a temporary loss of in-flight entertainment. The aircraft landed safely, and engineers conducted an extensive inspection before clearing it for future operations. Air New Zealand emphasized that these precautionary returns reflect the airline's commitment to passenger safety and adherence to standard safety protocols. The airline's Chief Operating Officer, Alex Marren, stated, "All actions taken were consistent with standard safety procedures," and reiterated that passenger safety remains the airline's top priority.

New Delhi, India: ICRA has revised its domestic air passenger growth projection for FY26 to 4–6%, down from the previous estimate of 7–10%. This adjustment follows a modest 0.3% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic to 13.17 million in August 2025. The revised forecast anticipates a total of 172–176 million domestic passengers for the fiscal year, compared to 165.4 million in FY25. International air traffic growth estimates have also been reduced to 13–15% for FY26, from the earlier projection of 15–20%. Factors contributing to this downgrade include geopolitical tensions affecting flight operations, decreased travel confidence following a recent aircraft accident, and global trade challenges such as the impact of U.S. tariffs. Consequently, ICRA projects the aviation sector's net losses to widen to ₹9,500–10,500 crore in FY26, up from ₹5,500 crore in FY25. This increase is attributed to slower passenger growth amid rising aircraft deliveries and operational hurdles. Industry capacity also declined, with capacity deployment in August 2025 dropping 5.8% compared to the same month last year. Supply chain disruptions and engine issues, particularly involving Pratt & Whitney engines, have led to approximately 133 aircraft being grounded as of March 31, 2025, accounting for 15–17% of the total industry fleet. Despite a decrease in aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices, cost pressures persist due to the dollar-denominated nature of key operating expenses, including fuel, aircraft leases, and maintenance. These factors continue to impact airlines' profitability. ICRA notes that while some carriers benefit from strong parental support and adequate liquidity, others may face challenges in maintaining credit metrics and liquidity profiles in the near term.
