Routes and partnerships slashed in some areas, while others focus on innovation. Plus Spanish airports fight back against Ryanair and lots more.

Flying the Air Inuit 737-200 Combi to Puvirnituq’s gravel runway is an AvGeek bucket list item. Alas, the 47-year old plane had other ideas. But we still had an interesting/good time.

Perhaps major airshows are losing their impact on the industry a bit. But Farnborough still brought plenty of key news to the fore.

American has a bunch more planes on order, while JetBlue and Spirit officially call it quits. Plus lots more…

Thank goodness change is such a constant in this industry. Otherwise what would we have to talk about every week?
