Alaska Airlines requests ground stop for all mainline aircraft, FAA website shows
The company also requested for ground stops of all Horizon Air flights.
Alaska Airlines has requested for a ground stop for all its mainline aircraft, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) status page showed on July 20.
The company also requested for ground stops of all Horizon Air flights, the regional subsidiary operating Alaska Airlines flights.
The reason behind either of the requests was not immediately clear.
Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air and the FAA did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment outside regular business hours.
The FAA status page showed all destinations being impacted by the ground stop of Alaska's mainline aircraft, and Horizon's ground stop.
Alaska Air Group maintains an operational fleet of 238 Boeing 737 aircraft, and 87 Embraer 175 aircraft, according to its website.
In June, Alaska Air Group-owned Hawaiian Airlines said some of its IT systems were disrupted by a hack. Alaska Air Group said it was still determining the financial impact of the hack. REUTERS

SIA Engineering's Q1 FY2025 profit jumps 29.2% to S$42.9M amid rising MRO demand and flight volumes
FB screengrab/ Singapore Airlines SINGAPORE: SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) reported a 29.2% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit to S$42.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, thanks to continued higher demand for the company's maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services and flight volumes in its line maintenance network. The company noted that it handled 3.5% more flights in Singapore during the quarter compared to a year ago. The Edge Singapore reported revenue for the first quarter of FY2025 was at S$358.4 million, up 33.4% from the same period last year, outpacing the group's total expenditure, which climbed 32% YoY to S$353.3 million amid higher material and manpower costs. As a result, SIAEC achieved an operating profit of S$5.1 million—S$4.1 million more than the previous year. The group's share of profit from its associated and joint venture companies rose to S$37.8 million for the quarter, marking a 35% increase compared to the same period last year. The engine and component segment added S$9.5 million to profits, while the airframe and line maintenance segment contributed S$0.3 million. The company said aircraft maintenance check volumes at its Base Maintenance in Singapore remained healthy, while setup efforts in Malaysia are on track, with the first of the two Subang hangars expected to be ready by year-end. Its new line maintenance joint venture in Cambodia is also slated to begin operations in the second half of the year. In April, SIAEC renewed its two-year term Comprehensive Services Agreements with Singapore Airlines and Scoot valued at S$1.3 billion. Its 55%-owned subsidiary, JADE Engineering, also secured a contract for Boeing 777 cabin retrofit services. As of June 30, 2025, the group's total assets stood at S$2.15 billion, marking a slight increase of 0.3% from March 31, 2025. Looking ahead, the company said in its press release on Tuesday (July 22): 'The sustained growth in passenger traffic, especially in Asia-Pacific, is expected to continue to drive MRO demand. However, we remain vigilant to the challenges arising from the broader macroeconomic environment, such as heightened geopolitical tensions, tariff and trade policy developments, and ongoing supply chain issues.' /TISG Read also: Singapore Airlines tops Travel + Leisure's 2025 international airlines list again () => { const trigger = if ('IntersectionObserver' in window && trigger) { const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => { => { if ( { lazyLoader(); // You should define lazyLoader() elsewhere or inline here // Run once } }); }, { rootMargin: '800px', threshold: 0.1 }); } else { // Fallback setTimeout(lazyLoader, 3000); } });

‘Important' for Johor to get back 25 per cent of tax revenue given to federal government: Regent
KUALA LUMPUR: Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has again called for a larger portion of the state's income tax revenue that goes to federal coffers to be returned to it. This comes amid growing concerns over infrastructure development and project delays in the southern state, he said. 'When 25 per cent of Johor's income tax revenue is returned to Johor, Johor can stand on its own feet,' he wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Jul 22). The regent had previously said that Johor gave the federal government about RM48 to RM49 billion (US$11.36 billion to US$11.59 billion) a year in tax revenue, but received only RM1.4 billion in return. That amounts to an estimated 2.85 per cent return. Tunku Ismail's latest comments came following news of the postponement of the Pasir Gudang Hospital's phased opening. Initially scheduled for next month, it has been delayed to January 2026, much to the regent's disappointment. Tunku Ismail also pointed to the issue of autogates system disruptions at Johor's major land checkpoints - the Sultan Iskandar Building and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex - as well as matters related to flood mitigation projects as to why more of the state's revenue should be returned to them. 'I wish to convey to Johoreans how important it is for 25 per cent of the state's income tax revenue to be returned to Johor. 'Through this tax return, we would not need to burden the federal government or submit applications to (them) and then endure a long wait for approval,' he said. Malaysia's constitution centralises revenue collection - including all forms of taxes - at the federal level. The federal government then returns a percentage of this to the states based on their population. According to a commentary posted on the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute's website in December 2023, state governments received revenue of RM926 per capita, about one-tenth of the federal government's RM8,969 per capita tax in the year 2022. In June last year, Tunku Ismail said Putrajaya should stop viewing Johor as 'belonging to Malaysia', likening the state to being a beggar for constantly having to highlight its needs. He had then also urged the federal government to consider allowing Johor to keep 20 per cent to 30 per cent of its tax revenue in the state 'Until when is Johor going to be a beggar? The system in the federal government from then until now must change, as Johor does not belong to Malaysia. We are partners, so you have to start treating us like partners,' he was quoted as saying by news portal Scoop. Tunku Ismail was appointed Johor regent at the end of January 2024 after his father ascended the throne to become Malaysia's king for a five-year term. Penang's chief minister Chow Kon Yeow had in June this year also renewed calls for the federal government to consider returning 20 per cent of tax revenue to the state for its development. He had said Penang continued to be among the top contributors to Malaysia's national coffers, but has been "shortchanged" when it comes to federal allocations. "Now is an appropriate time for the federal government to consider this seriously and not just push it aside," he was quoted as saying by the News Straits Times. Sabah has also for years also been trying to negotiate a return of its entitlement of 40 per cent of its revenue as stated in the federal constitution, which it says is crucial for economic development.
