Aired on April 25, 2021
Doug and Drew looked into our Avgeek cyrstal ball a year ago and forecast that we’d be at 75% of 2019 capacity by the summer of 2020. American Airlines announced that they would be at 80% this summer so we were close! Not so much on our forecast of travel bubbles which look to be overtaken by “Green” destinations.
Topics covered:
- EVA Air repaints its Hello Kitty 777-300 back to normal
- Aer Lingus flew leased 757’s which were another casualty of COVID19
- Would you pay for extra legroom?
- Virgin Atlantic predicts they will resume all flights by November
- Southwest and American say leisure travel is rebounding
- We talk about how to get a job in the airlines
