How do you build a new airline loyalty program? We’ve got a couple guests this week from Aeroplan to talk about how their team pulled it all together.
We’re back in the sky! Also, new doors, routes, snacks, and planes headed to storage.
We’re talking through bits of the new Aeroplan program in this weeks show, plus new travel warnings and a strange possible investment play by Qatar Airways on behalf of Delta Air Lines.
More openings than closings should be good news for lots in the industry, though things remain precarious on many fronts.
When an airline says it is concerned about passenger safety and then increases the number of seats sold that can be hard to reconcile. But at least they’re leaving it members of their cabin crew to keep posting anti-mask FUD on social media, right??
Whether taxiing to the runway or taking off for the skies, electric power is a growing part of the flying experience. Which is pretty damn cool.
An airport closes, possibly forever. Another was already closed when the plane showed up. And airlines are still planning their financial turnarounds as demand starts to creep higher.
Thousands of planes parked, some permanently, make for stunning images. But it comes at a cost, with jobs lost and an economic hit that is hard to measure so far.
An island hopper that only takes 8 hours and does not risk military base diversions has us pretty excited. Just need it to actually operate now.
What will the future of airline route networks look like? We dig deep into the past with special guest Ned Russell as we look to the future.
