DLD 356: Celebratory deaths

Alt text: A view of an airport runway with several American Eagle airplanes parked near the terminal gates. One airplane is positioned on the runway, ready for takeoff. The sky is clear with scattered clouds, and there are airport personnel and ground service vehicles visible near the planes.

So much noise for a handful of new routes. Is it really worth the hype? Plus an airline blocks customers and a hotel sues its parent brand.

The background includes trees, a house, and a body of water with a sailboat, all under a partly cloudy sky with a rainbow.

We’ve got a special guest on the show this week, talking about a very special topic. There’s a new aviation-themed children’s book out, Aya and Avi’s Airplane Adventure, and we’ve got the author on to talk about his inspiration for pulling it together and a few other things.
