A small, sleek, silver airplane is parked on an airstrip with its doors open. In the background, there is another aircraft with a blue and white color scheme. Two people are standing near the second aircraft. The scene is set against a backdrop of green, hilly terrain under a partly cloudy sky. A silver car is also visible on the right side of the image.

Bus gates for a new terminal? Ugh. Plus lots of new routes, a blacklisted passenger and $700,000 that should not have been paid.

  • Tagged as: airports, CaribAvia, podcast, Saint Martin, SFG, St. Maarten, SXM
The image appears to be a detailed, hand-drawn illustration of a centipede-like creature with multiple legs and segmented body parts. The creature is depicted with a yellow base and green, leaf-like structures on its back. The word "VERANDA" is written across the middle of the image. The drawing style is intricate, with fine lines and shading to show texture and depth.

What goes into the design of an airport? How do architects bridge the gap between here and there? We’ve got a special guest talking about architecture and design choices on this week’s show.

Aerial view of an airport with multiple airplanes parked on the tarmac. The image is taken from an airplane in flight, with part of the airplane's wing visible in the foreground. The airport has several runways and taxiways, and the surrounding area includes buildings, greenery, and a cityscape in the background under a cloudy sky.

Because sometimes flying to a small island in the Pacific for dinner is a very good idea. Plus, baseball!

The coastline of a large body of water, possibly a lake or ocean, runs along the right side of the image. The sky is mostly cloudy with a hint of blue near the horizon.

New planes (787-10s), new union lawsuits (AA & DL) and new access to faster immigration lines (UK eGates) are just some of the exciting news in this week’s show.

Alt text: A scenic view of a river at dusk with a boat passing by, illuminated with yellow lights. In the background, there are silhouettes of buildings and trees against a colorful sky transitioning from orange near the horizon to deep blue higher up. The tallest structure in the background appears to be a temple or monument. The water in the foreground reflects the lights from the boat and the buildings. The image has a calm and serene atmosphere.

Speed records and airport news dominate this week’s show. Some sketchy funding stories, too!

A close-up image of a brown alpaca's head. The alpaca is wearing a black halter, and some pieces of hay are caught in its fur. The background is blurred, showing a green metal bar and a white wall.

Who is a strong airline leader these days? What are the qualities that it takes? And why do so many seem to do it so badly??

Alt text: A view of an airplane from the side, showing the row of windows and part of the wing. The aircraft is parked on the tarmac at an airport, with the runway and some airport vehicles visible in the background. The sky is overcast.

Cutting money-losing programs makes sense in many cases. Selling off a profitable segment of the business is less normal. But here we are.

A view of a city skyline and a large body of water, seen through an airplane window. The sky is overcast, and the cityscape includes several tall buildings. The image captures the scene from a high altitude, giving a broad perspective of the urban area and the surrounding water.

Can we talk about that new livery? Plus, more Mexico, SAS’s strike and who really owns Hong Kong Airlines these days?
