Good evening from LA. For the first time in weeks, it appears I will not set foot on a plane this week. I’m looking forward to it. Honestly.
Last week, the Gulf Carriers “kissed and made up” with their American legacy counterparts in an agreement that changes nothing and allows both to save face. We also learned that KLM’s patience with Air France is growing short. Finally, Japan Airlines announced it would start a low-cost carrier.
Here’s a review of the week’s top stories plus a digest of all stories that have appeared on Live and Let’s Fly over the last week.
