It is always interesting to read airline advertisements and press releases. In the end, we learn a lotabout the state of mind of the sector and we can guess the major trends to come.

Sometimes air travel is difficult to understand. Some thunderous practices or announcementsgenerate misunderstandings, at least as far as I am concerned. Here are a few examples.

It’s always hard to name the best airline in the world. What criteria should be used as a basis? Howcan they be controlled? How can we ensure continuity of service? Of course, some classificationsexist and they are made with the best objectivity, at least we can credit them with it. And theneveryone can make up […]
The creators of modern air travel are either already dead or in the latter part of their lives. Theyhave great difficulty in recognizing it in its present state. Until the end of the 1970s, that is to sayduring the first 35 years of this activity born at the end of the Second World War, it […]

The case is about to be concluded. The American giant UNITED AIRLINES and the leading manufacturer of eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing) ARCHER are joining forces to create the first scheduled air transport network. It should be built in the coming weeks between Newark Airport in New Jersey and the center of Manhattan […]

Faced with the powerful offensive of ecologists who find this machine too noisy, too fuel-consuming and above all reserved for the wealthiest, at least in private transport use, we began to imagine the end of this mode of transport, especially since its replacement seemed ready to take over, I am talking about the eVTOLs (Electric […]

On Monday, March 10, German air transport was almost completely paralyzed following a massive strike by ground workers at airports organized by the powerful Ver.di union. For example, Berlin airport was completely closed, Frankfurt was unable to provide connections, and Munich and Hamburg were also very disrupted. A total of 3,400 flights had to be […]

This is a difficult subject to analyze as the interactions between governments and air transport are complex. This starts with the observation that airspace belongs to the states but that its civilian exploitation is carried out by independent operators, whether public or private. However, the latter are ultimately dependent on the sovereign power, if only […]

The global geopolitical situation does not encourage optimism, at least at the beginning of 2025. Conflicts, even localized ones, have an unfortunate tendency to multiply. In Europe, there is still this war between Russia and Ukraine, and even though strong pressure is being exerted on the Ukrainian President, we still do not see the end […]
