Polar coverage is here! Because you need fast, reliable connectivity, no matter where you fly.

Lukewarm market stimulation and high costs brought WestJet to fold ultra-low-fare test-project Swoop into its operations and cancel the brand. "Super low fares are very, very difficult to operate on." Obviously. Swoop’s retreat comes at a time when airlines offering basement airfares seem to have rough chance of success, as three more players have entered the ultra-low-cost arena since Swoop came on the scene. #hangar #airline #flight #airplane #airports WestJet Alexis von Hoensbroech Air Canada Rouge Air Canada Boeing John Gradek McGill University Flair Airlines Sunwing Airlines Inc.

I though this FlightGlobal article was excellent in covering the key points for the #airlineindustry in 2024. If I had to quibble, I might respectfully add a couple more points that I am watching. (1) Economic growth, and whether demand in Europe and North America continues to defy gravity Wile E Coyote style, (2) the impact of higher #interestrates on balance sheets and costs up and down the airline value chain, (3) the impact of continued #privateequity activity in the sector. https://lnkd.in/ggYj5MhP

The continuing investigation into the Boeing 737 MAX 9 goes beyond just that plane. And what does this mean to you? The newest and largest cruise ship in the world arrives, and the numbers are staggering. And we answer your questions. And since we’re in Canada this week, we answer this burning question: Who has the best bagels, Montreal or New York? Tune in this Thursday, January 18th at 12 pm ET via any of my social media channels. #globaltravelupdate #montreal #canada #quebec #737max9 #cruises #cruiseships #cruiselines #cruiseindustry #airlines #airlinesandairplanes #airlineindustry #socialmedia #askpeter #livestream

Slower bookings and “heightened” discounting may push Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines to deep losses this quarter. Others, like Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines, are doing fine aside from the higher costs everyone is seeing. Jay Shabat and I discuss what's happening on the latest episode of the Airline Weekly Lounge. Plus, the latest on Pratt & Whitney's geared turbofan engine issues. #airlines

Can you imagine how will be The Future of Air Mobility ? We invite you to be inspired with this video of the future of air mobility: #Embraer #AirMobility https://lnkd.in/d35ni6_j

Red is the new green: today, we've announced our order for up to 332 hybrid-electric aircraft, joining the JSX fleet as early as 2028. Comprised of the Electra.aero 9-seat eSTOL, the 19-seat AURA AERO Era, and the Heart Aerospace 30-seat ES-30, today’s order affirms our commitment to small communities around the nation – many of which are losing or have already lost regular air service. The low-emission, low-noise hybrid-electric airplanes we've ordered are cost effective and require little-to-no infrastructure development, meaning we can dramatically lower our operating costs and make point-to-point regional connectivity an eco-responsible reality. Since JSX can serve over 2,000 federally funded airports while network airlines can only use 480, we’re proud to say the future of flight is looking bright! Learn more: https://bit.ly/jsxhybrid

Do you know how many commercial flights take off every hour worldwide? If not, then sample this! On average, around 5,000 commercial flights take off every hour worldwide. This means that there are at least one flight starting somewhere in the world every second. If each flight has an average of 100 passengers, then 360,000 passengers are in the air every hour. However, this number can triple if you include turboprops, GA aircraft, and Eastern Bloc countries. So, are you going to be in the air right now, when you just saw this comment? If yes!
