DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??

DLD 427: Scrounging around

Alt text: "Interior view of a large, modern building with a high, arched ceiling supported by yellow metal beams. The ceiling features circular skylights, and the right side of the image shows a tall wall of windows allowing natural light to enter. The left side of the image includes a glass railing and a sign indicating an accessible area."

Fares are up, and revenues are strong in many markets. But that doesn’t mean everyone is doing great, financially or otherwise.

DLD 423: Are you aware??

A small commercial airplane with "Universal Hydrogen" branding on its fuselage is taking off from a runway. The aircraft has a colorful design with blue, white, and red elements, and the tail features a logo with a hydrogen symbol. The background shows a partly cloudy sky and a landscape with fields and distant buildings.

Hydrogen is flying, at least on one engine. And that’s way better for awareness than some of the other stuff we’ve seen lately.

DLD 409: Sorry we missed you

Maybe we’re supposed to say something in advance when the publishing schedule changes. Oopsie.

DLD 408: Winter is coming

Aerial view from an airplane window during twilight. The image shows the wing and engine of a JetBlue aircraft, with the city lights below and a gradient sky transitioning from deep blue to orange near the horizon. The landscape includes a mix of illuminated urban areas and darker, less populated regions, with mountains visible in the distance.

The semi-annual IATA seasonal schedule change happened last weekend, and it brings some fun and interesting new routes and slot opportunities to the industry.
