The group from Santa Barbara, California, flew with American Airlines last week. According to the statement, stuff worth more than $20,000 was damaged or lost during this flight. The group has taken to social media to criticize the airline, claiming that American Airlines “opened and checked all of our equipment and clearly did not put any effort into closing it properly or handling it with care.” We had open suitcases with missing stuff and a lot of ruined material.”

“Thanks American Airlines for destroying and misplacing over 20k of our equipment! Just before their July tour with Dropout Kings and Summoning The Lich, the band said on Twitter, “Let’s hope we can still play our shows this week you negligent pieces of shit.” Naturally, American Airlines replied with a pre-written “let’s help” message, followed by a DM that said nothing at all and ended with the phrase “talk to someone else.”

Thanks American Airlines for damaging and losing over 20K of our gear! Let’s hope we can still play our shows this week you negligent pieces of shit @AmericanAir

However, on July 11, the band issued an update in which they stated that the airline has offered them replacement luggage as compensation for their damaged kit.

American Airlines said ,”We apologize for any inconvenience in your travel experience and to quickly resolve this matter for you, we are pleased to offer you a quality replacement bag from one of our trusted business partners, Rynnls Luggage. Please use the unique link below that has been created especially for you to pick your new bag.”

Nekrogoblikon still doesn’t appear to have their equipment back as of yet, and flying in the United States remains a horrifying nightmare.

PIA Reinstates Manchester and Paris Routes After EU Ban Lift

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced plans to resume flights to Europe starting in January, beginning with Paris as its first destination.

The decision follows the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) removal of a long-standing ban on the airline. PIA’s inaugural flight to Paris is scheduled for January 10, with bookings opening on December 9.

In an official statement, PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan confirmed that the first flight schedule has been approved, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s recovery efforts. The EU ban had previously cost PIA approximately Rs40 billion ($144 million) annually in lost revenue, compounding its financial struggles.

With European operations restarting, PIA is now setting its sights on the United Kingdom. The airline plans to seek approval from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) to resume flights to major British cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

By restoring flights to Europe and aiming for UK destinations, PIA is taking critical steps toward recovering lost ground and improving its financial outlook.
