This week: Chris Sloan reports on first Breeze Airways A220 & it’s unusual configuration; American’s operational/staffing issues; Avoiding more issues at Thanksgiving; What should a CEO do when a Flight Attendant gets punched? How do airlines select what equipment goes where? Fine or Whine? and shout-outs.
I joined ATW Editor-in-Chief Karen Walker on Aviation Week Network’s Window Seat Podcast to explore two very different airline strategies playing out in North America right now. Drawing on two in-depth stories I’ve reported—one on JetBlue (in this month’s ATW) and one on Porter Airlines (coming next month)—we compared how each airline is navigating a pivotal moment: JetBlue is in full turnaround mode, pulling back in some markets as it works to restore profitability after a challenging period. Porter, by contrast, is scaling up aggressively across Canada and into the U.S., with a brand-new fleet and an ambitious growth plan. Both face fierce competition and shifting market dynamics—but their paths forward couldn’t look more different.
