📰 News we're reading

1. FAA restricts flights at Centennial Airport after safety assessment spotlights 2 midair near-collisions (thederrick.com) — Federal officials have halted simultaneous takeoffs on Centennial Airport’s parallel runways in Englewood after two verified near-collisions and dozens of other safety incidents, sharply curbing touch-and-go and training flights. The FAA now classifies the airport’s parallel departures as high-risk, a move airport leaders say is highly unusual and already causing major disruption for local flight schools, pilots, and aviation businesses.
   

2. CMU and Englewood Schools Partner to Expand College Access Through Guaranteed Admission and Scholarships (coloradomesa.edu) — Englewood High School students now have a clear, guaranteed pathway into Colorado Mesa University, including waived application fees, GPA-based automatic admission, and scholarship opportunities. The new partnership also promises dedicated admissions support, campus visits, and advising during students’ first semesters, aiming to make college more attainable for Englewood families planning life after graduation.
   

3. Million-dollar galas, celebrities and a PGA tournament: Inside the collapse of a Colorado private jet broker (timescall.com) — An Englewood-based private jet broker, OneFlight International, has abruptly shut down its airport office and ceased operations, leaving local staff unpaid and customers suing over large prepaid deposits. Lawsuits and former employees describe mounting debts, lavish galas, and aggressive promotions that allegedly masked deep financial trouble, while major sports and celebrity partners have now cut ties with the collapsed company.
   

4. Off-Campus Over Cafeteria (thepirateer.com) — Englewood High School students are increasingly choosing to leave campus at lunch for fast food, citing better taste, shorter lines, and convenience during a tight 30‑minute break. A recent survey highlights McDonald’s, Chick‑fil‑A, and Chipotle as top picks, while some students on free meal plans feel social pressure that discourages them from eating in the cafeteria.
