DLD 298: Mixed awards, mixed messages

The image shows the tails of two airplanes with a white background. Both tails feature a red logo that resembles a stylized phoenix or bird. The logo is prominently displayed on the vertical stabilizers of the aircraft. The sky in the background is overcast.

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??

DLD 294: It’s Electric!

An airplane with "magniX" and "AeroTEC" logos on its fuselage is flying over an airport. The airport below has multiple runways and numerous parked aircraft. The surrounding area appears to be a mix of open fields and buildings. The airplane is a small, single-propeller aircraft.

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.

DLD 293: Turn around or a turnaround??

The image shows a close-up view of a bird's nest containing several newly hatched baby birds. The nest is made of dried grass and twigs, and the baby birds are small, pink, and covered with sparse downy feathers. Their eyes are closed, and they appear to be huddled closely together.

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.

DLD 290: Desert flyover

Alt text: The image shows a view from an airplane window during sunset. The airplane wing is visible, and the sky is filled with vibrant orange and red hues as the sun sets on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the clouds.

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.

DLD 280: Alliance dalliances

Alt text: Aerial view of an airport with multiple runways and taxiways. Several airplanes are parked near terminal buildings and hangars. Adjacent to the airport, there is a large area with a winding track, possibly a test track or a racing circuit. Surrounding the airport are urban areas with residential and commercial buildings. The image is taken from an airplane window, with part of the window frame visible.

A new alliance affiliation, a new secondary cities airline in the USA and unblocking EuroBiz middles: What does it all mean?!?
