T'way Air's A330-300 aircraft is used to fly the Incheon-Singapore route. [T'WAY AIR] T'way Air is now flying the Incheon-Singapore route and plans to fly more mid- to long-distance routes as they become available after the potential merger of Korean Air Lines and Asiana.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin PS , the private terminal service for airline passengers, is adding a second location, this one at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest U.S. airport with over 75 million passengers in 2021. The move comes as Delta Air Lines, which operates a hub there, said it is restricting access to SkyClub lounges. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution , wait times at TSA checkpoints have been stretching to 45 minutes on busy mornings. The PS VIP lounge will open this Fall, joining Los Angeles International Airport.

A file photo shows a Thai AirAsia X A330-300 jet taking off from Don Mueang airport. Thai AirAsia X is committing to paying a refund in full to all 6,500 paid bookings during the two years of the pandemic, even as the airline is undergoing bankruptcy. Tassapon Bijleveld, director at Thai AirAsia X, said after a Thai bankruptcy court accepted its petition on May 17, the court will hear from creditors in case there are any objections. The airline reportedly has accumulated debt of around 25 billion baht, with the major proportion attributed to aircraft leasing contracts. The airline previously had 15 jets in the pre-pandemic years, but downsized to five aircraft this year. If creditors vote in favour of the bankruptcy petition, the airline could continue with its rehabilitation plan, which it hopes will be completed by the third quarter next year, said Mr Tassapon. The 6,500 bookings made prior to the bankruptcy process and new bookings from May 17 will not be affected by … [Read more...] about Thai AirAsia X to honour paid bookings

Southwest Airlines has had a number of great ideas. Free checked bags, flexible tickets, and efficient route planning that kept planes in the sky--and its profit margins as high as possible. Amid the pandemic, it had another brilliant idea. And it's backfired. As competing airlines were downsizing routes and destinations, Southwest decided to expand. Its expansion strategy was a bold move that made it more convenient than ever. By adding new destinations and routes , it was effectively meeting people where they were. But, months later, the bold move is proving to be a bad move, as the airline lacked one major thing every growing business needs: the infrastructure to support its growth . Now, Southwest is in a position no business wants to be in: Its selling point is growing into a pain point, as it increasingly cancels and changes flights. And putting its customers in a position no one wants to be in, facing last-minute trip changes, cancellations, and the … [Read more...] about Southwest Becomes One of America’s Least Reliable Airlines–After One Bright Idea Backfires

Could the "air" in " Airbnb " soon stand for something else? Maybe sooner than a lot of aviation industry leaders might hope. Here's the background. A year ago, Airbnb founder Brian Chesky took to Twitter to ask his 275,000 followers a simple question: If you could design the "perfect flying experience," how would it look? Let's say you could wave a magic wand and have the perfect flying experience, what would that look like? -- Brian Chesky (@bchesky) April 12, 2017 The results were really interesting. People came up with all kinds of ideas. Supersonic planes. Drive energy costs down by ultimately creating electric planes. Check your baggage in the city before you head to the airport. In the end, Chesky wrote in a later post, most people's wish lists came down to three things: "g et me there faster, cheaper, [with a] better experience." Sound simple, even common sense, right? But a look around the airline industry suggests … [Read more...] about Get Ready for ‘Airbnb: Airline Edition’ (Legacy Airlines Are Already Spooked)

Take it from a former Stanford dean who's dealt with more than her fair share of bright-but-bumbling 20-somethings: Just reaching a particular birthday does not make you an adult . "I was seeing more and more [students] who seemed less and less capable of doing the stuff of life. They were incredibly accomplished in the transcript and GPA sense but less with their own selves, evidenced by how frequently they communicated with a parent," Julie Lythcott-Haims told the L.A. Times . That might be news to some overprotective parents, but it's probably blindingly obvious to lots of 20-somethings who have recently smacked into the reality that, thanks to their loving but sheltered upbringings, they're woefully underprepared for adulthood. So what should you do if you've realized you're far from having this whole adulting thing down pat? Read , suggest a bunch of folks who have recently been in your shoes. While there's sometimes no substitute for lived … [Read more...] about 7 Life Skills Every Adult Should Know (and 13 Books That Teach Them)

A new domestic airline took flight in California in April 2021. Avelo Airlines , an ultra low-cost carrier (ULCC) founded by aviation industry veteran Andrew Levy, carried its first passengers on a 75-minute trip from Burbank to Santa Rosa, in California wine country, aboard a 189-seat Boeing 737. For introductory fares that started at $19 one way along the route, fliers were offered a seat . . . but not much else. There was no in-flight Wi-Fi or entertainment system. Carry ons and checked bags both cost extra, as did reserving a seat. The only food or drink on offer was a free mini bottle of water. advertisement advertisement In just over a year, Avelo has grown from 3 Boeing 737-800s to a fleet of 10 737s that include Next Gens, with at least 4 more aircraft expected to join by year’s end. The airline now offers more than 225 short-hop flights a week (the average trip lasts less than two hours) into more than two dozen destinations, all of them … [Read more...] about How Avelo Airlines is building an ultra low-cost carrier that’s actually good

There's a story I heard when I was writing a book about Harvard Business School . It goes like this. A student at an elite college is upset about a school policy. He complains to a dean : "What kind of a business treats its paying customers like this?" The dean replies: "That's where you're mixed up. You're not the customer. You're the product." I thought of this recently when I heard what American Airlines is saying about the passengers who are now flying -- and whom it will need to attract to survive in the post-coronavirus world. Let's take a quick step back. For a long time before the pandemic, American Airlines has been like its big rivals -- specifically United Airlines and Delta Air Lines -- in that its key passengers were business travelers. It made sense. I mean, if you ran an airline, who would you rather have in the seats? Would you want casual flyers who have very little brand loyalty and whose top concern, bar none, is simply … [Read more...] about American Airlines Just Revealed a Brutal Truth.
