Hi, everyone! Dan Webb here. I run the blog “Things in the Sky” over at BoardingArea, and my good friend Jon invited me to share my weekly “Saturday Links” post on his blog. In this weekly post, I put up links to articles that I found interesting but either didn’t get to or that I decided not to write a post about. So, here it is. Also, please check out what I wrote on my blog this week!
So, to be completely honest this is a very ATW link-heavy post for some reason.
- ABX Air, which flies mainly for DHL, has begun outlining its plans for the future now that DHL is shriking in the US.
- Three new runways opened at US airports this week, and Jon Heckman has the details.
- Mexicana will be launching European flights next year. The first flight is Mexico City to Gatwick.
- Southwest has started a dining program for Rapid Rewards. There’s a good thread on FlyerTalk about it.
- Air France-KLM’s profit was way down compared to the same quarter last year. Like many of the US airlines, its results were affected negatively by potential hedging losses.
- Cranky has a good post on a presentation by United on customer experience.
(Yes, I am aware that #2 is completely redundant)
