DLD 498: You’re Grounded!

The 777X is back on the ground, while an IFC vendor goes under and a couple airlines have operational issued. But it isn’t all bad news…

DLD 495: Shifting borders in air world

Fiorello would be happy, perhaps, to see Newark no longer managed by New York ATC. But will it help?

DLD 463: Looking to lose weight (restrictions)

Long flights come with challenging performance requirements. Delta looks to shed some weight restrictions and United may be adding some next year.

DLD 399: Direct to you

The image shows a spacious, modern airport terminal with a high ceiling and large windows allowing natural light to flood the area. The floor is shiny and reflective, and the ceiling is lined with evenly spaced lights. There are a few people in the distance, and rows of seating are visible further down the terminal. The overall atmosphere is clean and quiet.

Another airline disappears, but we’re still here. You can decide if that’s a good trade or not.

DLD 391: Some Independence thinking

A long, narrow causeway stretches out into the sea, partially submerged by water. The causeway is made of concrete tiles and is flanked by seaweed-covered rocks and shallow water. In the distance, a few people are walking along the causeway. A tall, thin pole stands on a stone base to the left of the causeway. The sky is overcast, and the overall scene appears calm and serene. The image is credited to @WandrMe.

Great news: The holiday weekend wasn’t a total meltdown, despite warnings from airlines.

DLD 349: It’s a conspiracy!

Kicking off the show with a bad conspiracy theory about hurricanes probably isn’t our strongest play, but here we are. It gets better pretty quickly.

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.
