DLD 501: Star signs and labor challenges

One strike averted, another underway. And plenty of challenges remain for the aviation industry overall.

DLD 489: Well and truly screwed

The US DOT seems keen to rewrite the rules – or at least how they’re enforced – in a way that’s liable to significantly impact the US market.

DLD 453: Shuffling the deck

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

DLD 397: Scavenger Hunt

A white and blue seaplane with the registration number N819BB is parked on a paved surface in front of a brick building with large windows. The seaplane has floats for landing on water and is branded with the name "Tailwind" on its tail. The sky is partly cloudy, and there is a grassy area next to the building. A person is standing near the plane.

Scavenging for spare parts, profitable routes, or just good travel ideas? We’ve got it all in this week’s show.

DLD 356: Celebratory deaths

So much noise for a handful of new routes. Is it really worth the hype? Plus an airline blocks customers and a hotel sues its parent brand.

DLD 190: Get your engine running, head out on the skyway

The image shows a close-up view of a jet engine undergoing maintenance. The engine's outer casing is partially removed, revealing the intricate internal components, including the fan blades and the central rotor. There are maintenance platforms and scaffolding around the engine, indicating that it is being worked on. The image captures the detailed engineering and complexity of the jet engine.

Aircraft engines are causing more than their share of issues these days. Failures on the ground and in the air are raising lots of questions. We’re mostly about asking them, not answering them in this episode. Plus cabin retrofits, new planes, routes and more.
