Earlier this year, United Airlines signaled the removal of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft type from its order book.

So in this video, we take a look at how a contract dispute between United Airlines and Rolls-Royce has placed one of the airline industry’s longest-running aircraft orders in doubt, why a $175 million payment is now at the center of a legal battle, and how the future of 45 Airbus A350s suddenly became uncertain.

Over the years, I have covered quite a few inaugural flights into Seattle. They are always a hoot, but often there aren't many surprises. Well, when Cathay Pacific Airlines did an inaugural flight to Seattle (SEA) from Hong Kong (HKG) on March 30, they did things a bit differently, and in a grand way. Not only did I get to experience the normal excitement of being on the ramp to greet the aircraft, but there was also a fun surprise at the gate; plus the airline held a grand gala event later in the evening. The day started when I awoke and opened FlightRadar24 to see which aircraft was en route. As expected, it was an Airbus A350-900, and it had registration B-LRJ. Then I noticed the photo: it was the retro livery. Booya! I quickly got some AvGeek goose bumps (yes, that is a thing). The airline calls it the “lettuce sandwich” retro livery and it has a special place in my AvGeek heart. Long before the internet was a thing, I remember looking at L1011s in that very livery in one of my airline books. It was one of my favorites. I never got the chance to see it in person, so here was my opportunity. And, it was extra special because this was also the first time that this retro livery would be flying to the U.S.
