Just about six months ago, I posited that it was not yet time for free inflight WiFi. It came after Air New Zealand announced all properly-equipped planes would have offer the service effective immediately and Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines had long been talking up its plans to offer free connectivity in the skies. Now, it […]

Second, it impacts economy passengers. Enhanced Service […]

While Boeing has been under fire for continued problems arising with its next-generation 737 MAX aircraft, the next-generation offerings of its main rival Airbus have been largely free of issue, until now. Operators of the Airbus A330-900neo recently have been reporting toxic fume leakages in the aircraft’s cabin, potentially coming from the engines, sources tell […]

Since its introduction, Delta’s Airbus A220-100 fleet has been delivering consistent results, and the number of routes the former Bombardier aircraft is serving is growing rapidly.

The refreshed kits have been created for long-haul customers in all cabins and will even be offered to passengers on certain domestic transcontinental flights. When customers board a Delta aircraft, they […]

Virgin Atlantic announced it will be restarting flights between London and Mumbai as of October 27. The new flight announcement follows the recent demise of Jet Airways’ operations, which used to codeshare with Virgin Atlantic on the route, allowing passengers to access Virgin Atlantic’s North American route network. “2019 marks a significant period of growth […]
