We’re into the last major bank holiday of the year in England; Whilst dodging the odd shower, the sun is out, and it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
It’s a Birmingham Weekender. Allegedly.
The Business of Aviation
- The Return of Monarch Airlines? – I have thoughts. A visible solid business plan could be the first thing I need to see. Trading on a name is never a good idea.

- easyJet to launch services to Cairo, Egypt – But check the airport
- Porter Airlines prepares to spread its Embraer E2 fleet to Florida – Thin and Long comes to mind
Passenger Experience
- British Airways celebrates 75 years of connecting the UK and Japan together – First and Club Suite on the way

- Air New Zealand to add four extra aircraft to its fleet – Short-haul extras for Air New Zealand
Pretty Pictures
We’ll be keeping an eye on the market. We’ll also get the Ryanair trip report on the road next week – or once I make a collage and file some graphics in the appropriate areas.
Until then, stay safe and happy landings.
