Interesting infographic from @SAFRAN about the many different areas where it provides equipment for commercial aircraft. From propulsion to seats and IFE/C, the company has a lot of offerings.

For passengers arriving into Terminal 5: Starting Monday, rideshares like @Uber@twitter.com and @Lyft@twitter.com will pick up at Terminal 2 departures. Transfer to T2 by taking a short ride on the Airport Transit System (ATS). http://bit.ly/3ZkQ9Hk

Delta is selling connections through DTW and ATL as short as 30 minutes -- meaning that your connecting flight is already boarding before the door opens on your first flight. Seems terrible.

The premium leisure traveller has demands beyond those that airlines designed their pre-Covid business class hard and soft product to meet. Some desires are the same: both want space, comfort and service. But some of the tradeoffs in seat and cabin design are different. https://runwaygirlnetwork.com/2023/02/2023s-premium-leisure-traveller-cabin/ @thatjohn explores #paxex #design #avgeek
