What happens if a flight ends at exactly zero fuel or endurance? Official

Landing at zero is safe if it happens on the final space. You cannot make another flight that turn without fuel or endurance to continue. Fuel reaching zero before the final space still interrupts the flight.

Can I make multiple flights in one turn? Official

Yes. Add all spaces across those flights; the combined distance cannot exceed your aircraft's range. You may stop at intermediate cities and deliver there.

Can earlier travel count toward an Air Route or Diplomacy objective I take later? Official

No. Progress starts when you take the objective. Your aircraft must be at a route's listed city when you take it to mark that stop; bags delivered before taking a Diplomacy objective do not count.

When does a multi-engine aircraft reroll a two-propeller result in the engine test? Official

Check the aircraft's engine count. A plane with two or more engines rerolls each two-propeller face once, even if another engine die has already failed.
