DLD 406: Mega investments

Aerial view from an airplane window showing a landscape with a mix of forested areas, open fields, and a body of water. The airplane's engine is visible on the right side of the image. The landscape below includes patches of green and brown, indicating a mix of vegetation and possibly autumn foliage. There are also some scattered buildings and roads visible.

New cabins, new partners, and new fuels are just a few of the major investments airlines announced that we’re talking about in this week’s episode.

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 386: Intel(ligence?) Inside

A person is reclining in a comfortable airplane seat, wearing an eye mask and covered with a blanket. The individual appears to be resting or sleeping. The airplane window next to them shows a view of clouds and a blue sky. The seat has built-in controls and a screen in front of it.

Some terribly dorky jokes get us started this week, but eventually we manage to transition to terribly dorky conversations about airplanes, so that’s mostly a win.

DLD 348: Lost and Found

We lost last week’s episode, but came back strong this time around with planes big and small crossing oceans and some fun new routes and money for US startups.

DLD 203: Is Chicago the next St. Louis??

The image shows a hand giving a thumbs-up gesture in the foreground, with a city skyline in the background. The skyline features several tall buildings, including a prominent skyscraper with a spire. The scene is set near a body of water, and the sky appears to be at dusk or dawn, with a soft gradient of colors.

Will O’Hare shift its role for American Airlines, losing its global gateway status? Also, dedicated crew for airline executives and lots of news about Alitalia, which is still alive for some reason. Oh, and vomit fraud. C’mon in for another great show!
