The Latest Around the Airline Blogosphere
I thought I'd end the week with a roundup of what other bloggers are talking about in the airline world. There's plenty of news, so let's take a look.
- Arthur Frommer has a piece on the increasing cost of flights to Hawai'i now that ATA and Aloha have disappeared.
- Evan Sparks has a very interesting post about the airlines' impressive reduction in carbon emissions.
- Over at FlightBlogger, you'll find discussion of Airbus's attempt at installing an electric taxiing system on its narrowbodies.
- Did you know that airlines are required to ditch paper tickets at the end of the month? It's not really that simple, as The Global Traveller tells us.
- PlaneBuzz notes that Southwest has taken out a loan to increase its cash balance. Then she ponders why they'd have to do such a thing.
- There's a special guest appearance by Frank Arciuolo over at Towers and Tarmacs talking about the impact of hub downsizing on the surrounding communities.
- And lastly, it wouldn't be a roundup without a mention of the man who says he was forced to sit in the lav for his JetBlue flight. Oh boy. You'll find the story at Upgrade: Travel Better. Enjoy the weekend!
