- Tyler, the creator says he’s on the No Fly List. Maybe he’s getting extra screening, but he’s not banned from travel, because he actually flew.

- Status of Chicago O’Hare’s $8.5 billion terminal expansion
- Japan Airlines maintenance goal: “zero, zero, 100: zero irregular operations and inflight shutdowns; zero flight squawks and 100% on-time departure.”
Japan Airlines Engineering Co. (JALEC)’s goals are based on a paradigm shift—striving for “maintenance to create a failproof aircraft” instead of “maintenance to repair an aircraft when it fails,” says Yasuo Yoshida, VP maintenance, corporate planning and finance, speaking at Aviation Week’s MRO Asia-Pacific.
- Japanese airport had its twitter account for being underage. The social media team listed the airport’s “birth date” as the date it opened. (HT: @HKTBlog_Dom)

@Gary – Any idea if transfers between terminals are still by bus at ORD? Their website didn’t say.
I don’t want to bother creating an account at MRO network where the article about JAL is listed, but they list JAL as having had $264 trillion in debt, which seems a bit unlikely. Maybe they meant yen or maybe it was billion in dollars.
