Dots, Lines & Destinations » Podcast show

Summary: After years of fighting to receive the necessary permits to base aircraft in <a href="http://blog.wandr.me/tag/Ireland">Ireland</a> and fly them to the United States one of the first destinations <a href="http://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/cork-runway-may-be-too-short-for-norwegian-air-flights-to-new-york-1.3041237" target="_blank">might not be able to handle expanded service</a>. I suppose the good news is that Norwegian never announced Cork-Stewart service (<a href="http://blog.wandr.me/2017/02/norwegians-cheap-737s-across-atlantic/" target="_blank">Providence only</a>) but there is some irony there.<br> <br> Frontier is reportedly looking to become publicly traded. The profit numbers seem to support that plan, though who really knows in the airline world.<br> <br> <a href="http://blog.wandr.me/" target="_blank">Seth</a> <a href="http://blog.wandr.me/?p=20316" target="_blank">got to poke around in AirBaltic's CS300 in Hamburg last week</a>.<br> <br> And, thanks to listener request, we talk a bit about why we spend so much time on planes. Leave a comment or question and we might talk about your ideas next.<br> <br> <br> <br> Enjoy the show!
