Theme: Resilience, Routes, and Reality Checks
No bombing here other than the examples of bad luck or implementation.
1. Shanghai to the Southern Cone
China Eastern plans to launch a Shanghai–Auckland–Buenos Aires route in December 2025 using A350-900s.
This three-continent route is bold, but is there real demand from China to Argentina? Or just a diplomatic route map flex?
2. British Airways: Fined in Canada
BA has been penalized by the Canadian Transportation Agency for failing to respond properly to passenger complaints.
Consumer rights watchdogs are finally starting to bark — or bite?
3. Resilience is the New Black
Boeing and Safran are collaborating to increase spare parts availability — not a glamorous headline, but a vital one.
Forget AI, resilience is the new buzzword in aviation supply chain.
4. Michael O’Leary Gets Paid
Ryanair’s boss just got a €100 million bonus thanks to meeting shareholder return targets.
Critics say it’s obscene. Supporters say he earned it. One thing’s clear: O’Leary is still the most profitable contrarian in the skies.
5. Avoid These Skies: Conflict Zone Map
Flying around the world is getting tougher. Three key airspace regions are now under growing restrictions:
-
Israel–Iran corridor: highly unstable post-strikes.
-
India–Pakistan: Kashmir remains a latent risk zone.
-
Russia–Ukraine: Airspace is largely off-limits.
If you see a straight line on a flight map, it’s a lie. Pilots are flying zigzag around geopolitics.
6. A Book for the Bold
Five Steps to a Great Journey by Tony Prophet — a former HP executive turned founder — is a heartfelt, smart guide to reinventing your career and life.
It’s the book version of jumping from cruise mode to full throttle.
