DLD 461: Aloha, Alaska!

Alaska Airlines is buying Hawaiian Airlines. There are lots of reasons the deal makes sense, but more than a few questions we have about how it will play out.

DLD 338: On Island Time

The image shows the view from an airplane window during landing. The airplane's wing is prominently visible with its flaps extended. The aircraft is on a runway with a clear sky and scattered clouds in the background. There are some buildings and parked vehicles visible in the distance, along with some greenery and trees near the runway.

Back on the road and exploring the world, with some thoughts on just how well that’s going overall and why we’re not in a huge hurry to do more of it too soon.

DLD 330: Aya and Avi’s Airplane Adventure

The image is a colorful illustration of a children's book cover titled "Aya and Avi's Airplane Adventure" by Jaspreet Travels. The cover features a yellow airplane with two children inside, one wearing aviator goggles and a hat, and the other smiling. Below the airplane, three children are waving up at it. 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.

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.
