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.

DLD 396: So much revenue, but what about profit?

The image shows a view from an airplane window during takeoff or landing. The wing of the airplane is visible in the foreground, with the "jetblue.com" logo on the engine. Below, there is a runway and taxiway with another blue airplane on the ground. In the background, there is a body of water and a coastline with buildings and greenery.

Airlines raked in revenue in Q2, but not all of them reported a profit. And that raises a lot of bigger picture questions.

DLD 395: Ripe for disruption

The image shows a close-up of a cluster of blueberries on a bush. The berries are in various stages of ripeness, with some being fully ripe and blue, while others are still pink or white. The green leaves of the bush surround the berries, and the background is a blurred outdoor setting with grass.

More leisure travelers than expected, plus some gardening tips. Oh, and lots of airline news, too.

DLD 355: Weather Gone Wild

A serene lake with a reflective surface, surrounded by a forest of trees displaying autumn colors. The trees exhibit a mix of green, yellow, orange, and red foliage. The sky above is overcast with a layer of clouds, and the water is dotted with lily pads and other aquatic plants. The reflection of the colorful trees in the calm water creates a mirror-like effect.

We faced a couple mechanicals getting this week’s episode recorded, but are willing to admit that truth, rather than blaming weather, unlike some airlines.

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.
