PMM — Nov. 24, 2025: The Stories That Matter Today



Textron brings the Bonanza and Baron era to a close.

A quiet ending to two of general aviation’s most iconic workhorses — aircraft that trained, transported, and defined generations of pilots. Legacy fleets rarely fade loudly, but this one deserves attention.

Google launches a travel booking engine — just don’t call it an OTA.

This is Google tightening its grip on travel intent. Their new agentic-style booking tool looks, behaves, and smells like an OTA. But of course, officially, it isn’t. The semantics won’t comfort anyone in the industry.

Delta rolls out “Locals.”

An airline launching a community platform is… unusual. It feels like Delta wants to become a lifestyle brand for the neighborhoods it serves. Could work. Could also become the next Clubhouse.

TSA volumes this week will tell us everything.

Thanksgiving traffic is the annual X-ray of the U.S. travel system. Infrastructure, staffing, airline scheduling discipline — it’s all laid bare. Watch for spikes, bottlenecks, and political noise.

A stretched A220? The idea refuses to die.

Technically feasible. Commercially attractive. Politically complicated. The market keeps nudging Airbus toward the A220 that airlines really want — even if it threatens the A320 family.

RIP Wing Commander Namansh Syal.

A reminder that aviation is built on the dedication and risk of real people. Wing Commander Syal, a respected Tejas pilot, died in service. His loss is felt far beyond India.
