China s civil aviation regulator has set a five-year goal to extend existing airports and build more airports to cater to growing demand, officials said. By 2025, China aims to build airports with a designed capacity of 2 billion passenger trips a year, creating a situation where infrastructure is ahead of civil aviation development, Zhang Qing, deputy head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China s development and planning department, said at a news conference on Monday.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has reunited with a man whose life he saved when he suffered a heart attack at an airport in New Jersey. The man was in baggage claim at the Newark Liberty International Airport when the heart attack occurred. Officials say Officer Jeffrey Croissant was on patrol and found the man was not breathing and did not have a pulse. He called for back-up and began CPR on the man.
Dr. Oz was returning home from Florida when he saw the man needed help.

The man says he is now feeling 100% and is thankful Dr. Oz was there to help revive him.

BILLINGS â The schedule for air travel from Denver to Billings will return to normal Tuesday after a weekend snowstorm forced the Denver International Airport to close for 24 hours, said Kevin Ploehn, director of aviation and transit at the Billings Logan International Airport.
Ploehn said many people who flew out of Billings last week for Denver were delayed and diverted to Seattle or Minneapolis. It was a little bit of a cluster trying to get back for some people, especially if they were going through Denver. But if they were going through the other markets, they probably didn t have that much trouble. We had some pretty good numbers over the weekend, Ploehn said.
