A longer than normal episode this week, thanks to special guest Ed and lots of wayward story lines.
Regulators are forcing airlines to do good things for passengers, which is refreshing. Plus maybe a new Dubai airport a decade from now, and lots more.
Aircraft orders shifting, service types are switching, and one major airport is underwater in this week’s show.
Trying to squeeze more planes into a terminal is rarely an easy task. When the terminal is brand new and someone screwed up the design work it is even worse.
Long flights, jet lag, and do pilots need to sleep on a trip, too?
Sure, we’re not really traveling long-haul for leisure right now. But some people are. We had long time friend of the show Han on to talk about a couple recent trips.
In a growing industry where will all the planes go? SFO, MEX, AMS and many more are full while expansion options are limited. New catering, routes, boarding rules and a presidential 747 won’t change that, but we talk about them anyways.
United Airlines trimmed its assets this quarter owing to the new open skies arrangement with Brazil. Tehran is getting trimmed this summer as well, while . Plus nuts are getting trimmed from Southwest and lots more in this week’s episode!
What’s next for the A380? Delays in opening at Dubai and tracking new jets, too.
Lots of topics this week but no title for the show…hopefully you’re willing to listen anyways.
