The Professor’s Minute Minute — September 30, 2025

 

The Professor’s Minute Minute — September 30, 2025

Five big stories (and one quirky) shaping travel, aviation, and humanity today:

  • Virtual Interlining Goes Next-Gen

    Eurowings is pushing the boundaries by embedding codeshare integrations directly into its website and app — creating a more seamless experience. We’re finally moving beyond clunky links and PDFs into real dynamic connectivity.

  • A Quarter Century of Travel’s Greatest Hits

    Travel Weekly celebrates 25 years with a retrospective of the industry’s highs, lows, and weird pivots. Sometimes we forget how far we’ve come — and how often we circle back to the same debates.

  • PLAY Airlines Collapses

    Iceland’s disruptor airline has officially gone bust. Another cautionary tale about over-ambitious expansion and fragile transatlantic models. Expect a fight over refunds and stranded pax.

  • Africa’s Liberalization Stalls (Again)

    After years of promises, African airline liberalization faces another slowdown. Aviation remains key to economic development — and this is a missed opportunity for connectivity and growth.

  • Blue Origin Expands New Shepard Fleet

    Jeff Bezos is still reaching for the stars — literally. More vehicles, more launches, and maybe one day a profitable space tourism business.

  • Quirky: The Original Airline Computer System

    Sabre transformed aviation decades ago. Airways Magazine has a fascinating piece on how this system laid the groundwork for everything we do in travel tech today.
