JetBlue has reopened its terminal at New York's Kennedy airport following a brief evacuation due to a suspicious package.

It was called an "aeroplane," but the contraption Orville Wright piloted on Sept. 17, 1908 was hardly more than a big box kite with a motor. And unlike his famous first flight in 1903, this one was doomed.

JetBlue said one of its flights returned to John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday because of an unusual odor in the cabin — the second such incident in a week.

The government will auction off a prized takeoff and landing slot at Newark Liberty airport next month, as the first step in an experiment to ease nationwide travel delays through changes in New York City airspace.

Cell phone calls on airplanes in flight are not only unsafe, they're obnoxious and they should be permanently banned, according to some members of Congress.

JetBlue's chief executive agreed to halve his salary on Monday in a show of solidarity with employees as the low-cost carrier struggles with soaring fuel prices and a slowing U.S. economy.

The chief executive officers of a dozen U.S. airlines, beset by record fuel costs that have caused several to cut jobs, reduce capacity and impose higher fees on customers, are now asking for their customers' help to curb the rise of oil prices.
