Aviation News Summary: Amazon Prime Air received FAA approval for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations, enabling expansion in College Station, Texas. The new permissions allow remote pilots to oversee drones with onboard detect-and-avoid systems. Amazon aims to deliver 500 million packages annually by drone, competing with Wing and Zipline. Expansion plans include Arizona, the UK, and Italy. Emirates President Sir Tim Clark described the April floods in Dubai as "like being under attack," admitting the airline needs to be more dynamic in future extreme weather. At the IATA meeting, he highlighted Emirates' struggles, including 400 canceled flights. Clark also emphasized the importance of seatbelt use after a fatal turbulence event on Singapore Airlines flight SQ321. United Airlines removed a plane for deep cleaning after up to 30 passengers fell ill on a flight from Vancouver to Houston. The sick passengers were part of a group returning from a cruise in British Columbia. The CDC is investigating norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships, including the Celebrity Summit. No hospitalizations occurred, but two subsequent flights were canceled. Air India Express flight attendant Surabhi Khatun, 26, was arrested in Kerala for attempting to smuggle nearly a kilogram of gold hidden in her rectum on a flight from Muscat, Oman. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence nabbed Khatun in a sting operation at Kannur Airport. Gold smuggling is rampant in India due to high import taxes and demand for cheap gold. United Airlines flight UA998, a Boeing 787-10 from Brussels to Newark, diverted to Dublin due to an onboard passenger disruption. Initially, no formal emergency was declared. Upon landing, the HSE Infectious Disease Unit attended the flight due to a suspected infectious disease. The aircraft remains at a remote stand with passengers onboard for further tests. The French Air and Space Force will conduct GNSS jamming during the Black Crow 24 exercise from May 27 to June 7, 2024, to train crews for disrupted GPS environments. The jamming, affecting areas in the Puy-de-Dôme region, will occur 2-3 hours daily. Notable impacts
