A Hellenic Air Force F-16 fighter jet has crash-landed at Zakynthos airport, closing one of Greece's busiest summer holiday terminals. The aircraft, part of the 335th Squadron based at Araxos Air Base in western Greece, was on a training flight when it landed at approximately 13:45 local time on Thursday after developing a technical fault. The Hellenic Air Force confirmed the pilot was "in good health" and launched an investigation into the cause.

Reports indicate the aircraft received a fire warning before landing and ignited upon touching the runway, prompting an immediate emergency response from firefighters and airport personnel. According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, the jet landed without deploying its landing gear and slid several dozen meters along the runway. The Hellenic Air Force has not commented on this report.

The incident occurred during the start of Greece's busy summer tourism season, when thousands of visitors typically travel to the island each week. Air Force specialists are expected to travel to the Ionian Islands to remove the aircraft from the runway and allow the airport to resume operations.

With major productions preparing to launch in the second half of the year, Thailand is positioned to set new records for foreign film production revenue in 2026.

Feature films generated the highest investment value at 1.989 billion baht across 21 productions, followed by game shows and reality programs at 811 million baht across 22 productions, and commercials at 710 million baht across 152 productions.

The top five countries and territories investing in Thailand were the United States at 1.543 billion baht, Hong Kong at 322 million baht, Finland at 300 million baht, Germany at 297 million baht, and the United Kingdom at 230 million baht.

"These achievements reflect Thailand's potential as a world-class filming destination, with competitive locations, professional crews, production support systems, and investment incentives at international standards," the deputy spokesman stated. "The government's foreign film production incentive program, offering cash rebates of up to 30%, will help position Thailand as a regional hub for international film and content production while generating sustained economic benefits, employment, and long-term value."
