REAL ID is officially in effect nationwide and immediately impacts all domestic air travelers. What happens if you don't have the proper identification?

While the Homeland Security chief said travelers without a Real ID can still fly — for now — they’ll be subject to extra screening. So everyone should brace for even longer airport security lines and delays.

A brand new shape of commercial jet could be in the skies by 2030, if a partnership between Delta Air Lines and Californian aviation startup JetZero goes to plan.

This month, the Department of Transportation fined Jet Blue airlines $2 million for what it described as “multiple chronically late flights.” They penalized Frontier Airlines for the same reason.

The National Transportation Safety Board did not view this as a safety issue involving flight crew or operations, and so it did not initiate any further investigation.
