In London, scarce slots at Heathrow Airport (LHR) are being pointed at thick premium markets where schedule breadth wins the overall share of corporate travelers. London Gatwick Airport (LGW) is being refocused on leisure traffic, with some high-profile US retreats also sprinkled into the overall mix. Headline moves made by the carrier include doubling flights from London Heathrow to Miami International Airport (MIA), flights to Dallas/Fort Worth…
I’d be surprised if this doesn’t pass, quite frankly… Lawmaker proposes renaming airport after President Trump Republican Florida State Representative Meg Weinberger has introduced a proposal to rename Palm Beach International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport. As she explained in a statement: “President Trump is the most consequential president of our lifetime and a resident of Palm Beach County, which makes it only fitting to honor him, like many other presidents before him, by naming our airport Donald J. Trump International.” America’s greatest President deserves an airport that bears his name. That’s why I have filed legislation to…

I’m not meaning to be a sassy jerk, but I’m curious if I’m the only one who feels this way?
