The photograph looks fake. A short-fuselage Soviet-era twin-engine airliner — a Tupolev Tu-134, the workhorse of Aeroflot domestic routes for thirty years — is hanging in midair beneath a single helicopter. The Tu-134 weighs about 28 tonnes empty. It is some...

Cape Town, Las Vegas, JFK, Aruba, Jeddah, Kuwait, Costa Rica’s San José — and eleven European short-hops including Cologne, Grenoble, Izmir, Riga and Kalamata. British Airways is dropping nineteen routes from its summer 2026 timetable. Seven long-haul, twelve...
