DLD 522: Helo Hold

Another rough week for aviation in many ways. And plenty of concerns about what lays ahead.

DLD 521: Far-flung Frontiers

Which new markets make sense? Both long-haul and short-haul are seeing some interesting changes.

DLD 492: Whoopsie!

It could’ve been a lot worse, for sure. But now we have some initial details about the Southwest flight that took off from a closed runway two weeks ago.

DLD 491: More bad news for Boeing, but maybe it is good?

A trio of Boeing stories top the show this week. And somehow pleading guilty to a crime might end up being good for the company?

DLD 485: Getting there eventually

Maybe taking five flights rather than just two, and adding an extra overnight en route, was a mistake.

DLD 477: Playing the fool

We’re skipping April Fool’s Day in favor of some real news, including at least one story we were convinced should’ve been a joke.

DLD 434: Trust buster

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 418: Flying on funky wings

New wing designs, and new engines hanging from them, could change the way we fly. Or at least make it more efficient.

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.
