Onboard ExpressJet’s Corporate Aviation Aircraft

British Airways 777 Accident at Heathrow Linked to Delta Incident
We all remember the BA 777 that lost power and crash-landed at London/Heathrow, right? Last September, an interim report was put out on the accident saying that ice buildup blocking the fuel flow was the likely culprit. Now Boeing is not only agreeing...

V Australia Will Get You To Seattle with Alaska, Not Virgin America
I received a note from a reader down under recently pointing out that Aussies can now book flights to Seattle on the V Australia website. Is this the long-anticipated codeshare with Virgin America finally showing its head? Nope. It’s actually a...

Spirit Wants Ads on Flight Attendants, I Say “Why Not?”
Spirit has been pretty quiet lately, and that should scare all of us. This is an airline that thrives on getting itself free PR, and it usually does a very good job with it. But maybe their old tricks just aren’t working anymore. So what do they...

Italians Look to Kill Rome’s Ciampino Airport, Help Alitalia
Yes, this is a post about Italy, but believe it or not, Alitalia isn’t the main focus. It’s the bungling Italian government that has caught my eye once again for their plans to help Alitalia and kick low cost carriers to the far corners of...
