Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: October 22, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onOctober 22, 2017November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

I’m back in LA after a fast-paced week around the world. My trip took another twist on the way to Ho Chi Minh City, which I will share tomorrow morning.

As it was a relatively light news week, Live and Let’s Fly focused more on trip reports than breaking news. But importantly, Airbus and Bombardier joined forces on the C-Series program, a game-changer in the subsidy fight with Boeing. Rumors of a JetBlue-United merger spread, though I do not put much stock in them.

Have a wonderful week ahead.
