The China Eastern Airlines Corp. jet that crashed Monday was traveling at close to the speed of sound in the moments before it slammed into a hillside, according to a Bloomberg News review of flight-track data.

A SpiceJet flight veered off its path on the runway while landing at Kolkata airport today, damaging four lights, the airline said, adding that no one was injured in the incident.

Carriers like SpiceJet, IndiGo, GoAir and Jet Airways have plans or firmed up orders for over 800 new planes, including a good number of smaller aircraft.
