The Airbus BelugaXL entered service at Getafe, Spain, to operate weekly flights carrying horizontal tailplanes, A350 Section 19 and wing lower covers to Toulouse, Hamburg and Broughton. GE Aviation named John Slattery as president and CEO, succeeding David Joyce; and Embraer appointed Arjan Meijer to succeed Slattery as president and CEO-commercial aviation. Boeing and Inmarsat partnered on a new "smart pipe" technology to provide fast and secure inflight broadband connectivity, from the cockpit to the cabin, allowing airlines to use multiple third-party applications at the same time on board the new 777X. Inmarsat's smart pipe technology will initially be available to airlines that have either ordered or plan to order the aircraft type. In addition, the capabilities will be available as upgrades on other aircraft models.
