DLD 447: Too much red

an airplane with many seats

How much money can a one-plane airline lose in just two months? More than just about everyone involved expected.

DLD 434: Trust buster

Aerial view of an airport with multiple runways, taxiways, and aircraft parked near terminal buildings. The image shows a large runway marked with the number 23, various airport facilities, and surrounding urban areas with buildings and roads. The wing of an airplane is visible in the foreground, indicating the photo was taken from an aircraft in flight. The image is credited to @WandrMe.

JetBlue and American Airlines have a lot of work to do if they’re going to keep the NEA alive. A judge ruled it illegal last Friday, setting up all sorts of challenges for the carriers.

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 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 368: Not so far flung

A wooden dock covered in snow extends over a calm body of water. There is a wooden chair on the dock facing the water. The shoreline is rocky and also covered in snow. In the background, there are hills and a distant shoreline with some buildings, and the sky is overcast.

We shouldn’t be here right now. We should all be there. But we aren’t. And we don’t even really know where “there” is. A most interesting predicament.

DLD 365: TATL Tales

The image shows the interior of an airport terminal. There are a few people walking, one of whom is pulling a suitcase. The terminal has a modern design with curved ceilings and large windows. There is a prominent information sign with an "i" symbol, and several digital screens displaying information and advertisements. A Starbucks coffee shop is visible on the right side of the image. There are also signs indicating the direction to gates B15 to B85, baggage claim, and ground transportation. The area appears to be relatively quiet with only a few travelers present.

Lots of news in the Transatlantic market this week, with high hopes for Summer 2022. Lawsuits, and new elite status and maskholes, too.

DLD 353: Close connections

The image shows an aerial view of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. In the foreground, there are trees and buildings. Three helicopters are flying in formation, and a commercial airplane is also visible in the sky. The sky is partly cloudy. The image has text in the bottom right corner that reads "PaxEx.Aero || @WandrMe."

An irrational amount of discussion about connecting flights takes over this episode. But, in our defense, one of you asked about it.
