2 Opinion of the Court 25-10774

PER CURIAM: Worldwide Aircraft Services, Inc., doing business as Jet ICU, appeals orders of the district court dismissing its claims against Cigna Global Insurance Company Limited with prejudice. We re- view the grant of a motion to dismiss de novo. Watts v. Joggers Run Prop. Owners Ass’n, Inc., 133 F.4th 1032, 1038–39 (11th Cir. 2025). We also review questions of preemption de novo. Aspen Am. Ins. Co. v. Landstar Ranger, Inc., 65 F.4th 1261, 1265 (11th Cir. 2023). In two well-reasoned orders, the district court dismissed Jet ICU’s claims as preempted by the Airline Deregulation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 41713(b)(1). See Worldwide Aircraft Servs. Inc. v. Conn. Gen. Life Ins. Co., 749 F. Supp. 3d 1204 (M.D. Fla. 2024); Worldwide Aircraft Servs. Inc. v. Conn. Gen. Life Ins. Co., No. 8:24-cv-01604, 2025 WL 487642 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 13, 2025). After careful review of the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, we find no error in the district court’s conclusions. Accordingly, we affirm. AFFIRMED.
