The Professor’s Minute Minute — November 2, 2025



A day of airline heartbreaks and awkward goodbyes.

Oh Woe the Widebodies (Part I)

The shortage of widebody aircraft is becoming “extraordinarily acute,” according to Aercap’s CEO. Long-haul capacity is getting squeezed hard.

More bad news: Boeing’s 777X delivery expectations just took another hit. The widebody crunch deepens from multiple angles.

Farewell, Little One

ANA will wind down its AirJapan brand in 2026. Another regional identity disappears into the history books.

Well… That’s One Way to Fix the GTF Issue

SWISS is withdrawing its Airbus A220-100s. If you can’t fix the engines, remove the planes? Bold strategy.

US Escalates Its Battle with Mexico

Quirky: It’s Been a While, But We’re Back in Love

Europe has reclaimed the top spot in US imports. The romance rekindles across the Atlantic — for now.

A Picasso Blue Period–inspired cubist landscape (1200×628) in cool blues/blue-greens with subtle warm accents. A clean, symbolic scene of global aviation strain and shifting trade: a fragmented widebody silhouette shown from two angular perspectives; a partially assembled widebody shape suggesting delayed momentum (777X); a small ANA/AirJapan motif subtly dissolving into adjacent geometry; a compact A220-100-like outline gently peeled/erased from the canvas; two abstract aircraft/flag forms on opposite sides pulling apart (US–Mexico routes); and a soft, quirky note of two faceted continental shapes leaning toward each other (US–EU import rekindling). At most two subtle brand cues (e.g., an ANA tail palette hint and a small SWISS cross-red panel), fully integrated; no logos or readable marks; no text anywhere.
