Fortunately not too much drone chatter this week; we’ve got more important stuff to talk about.
The US DOT seems keen to rewrite the rules – or at least how they’re enforced – in a way that’s liable to significantly impact the US market.
Who will be the first to fly the A321XLR? And when will the 777X ever fly? At least now we have some A350 confirmed flight times and an A380 on the move…
Long flights come with challenging performance requirements. Delta looks to shed some weight restrictions and United may be adding some next year.
Is there at least maybe, hopefully a good reason for American Airlines slashing its mini-hub in Austin?
New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.
The semi-annual IATA seasonal schedule change happened last weekend, and it brings some fun and interesting new routes and slot opportunities to the industry.
Airlines raked in revenue in Q2, but not all of them reported a profit. And that raises a lot of bigger picture questions.
As if airport crowds and luggage SNAFUs aren’t enough, summer heat waves are adding to the challenges in travel.
Some terribly dorky jokes get us started this week, but eventually we manage to transition to terribly dorky conversations about airplanes, so that’s mostly a win.
