Delta Air Lines remains fully committed to Utah, with plans for a $18 million state-of-the-art cargo facility on the grounds of Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). The new facility will cover up to 48,000 square feet, reaffirming the carrier’s stronghold at the airport. This development has been made possible through a loan with Salt Lake City and the Utah Inland Port Authority, which will help develop the new state-of-the-art cargo hub. SLC is a major gateway for the inner-mountain West, and Delta remains the largest operator at the airport. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics outlines that the airline operates…

Wait, you’re telling me a Miami-based investment firm was running a shady operation?! No way. In all honesty, it’s nice to see justice every once in a while… 777 Partners charged with $500 million fraud scheme In 2023 I first wrote about 777 Partners, a Miami-based investment firm that owned stakes in both Canada’s Flair Airlines and Australia’s Bonza Airlines (despite the company’s name, it has no direct connection to Boeing or the 777). There was always something mighty suspicious about the company, as the two airlines constantly fell behind on their lease payments, all while 777 Partners kept investing…

Hawaiian Airlines has begun operating under the same certificate as Alaska Airlines, as its flights now use the ‘AS’ IATA code and ‘ASA’ICAO code, while pilots now use the ‘Alaska’ callsign when communicating with air traffic control. Flights are sold online as Alaska Airlines with the following remark: “Plane and crew by Alaska as Hawaiian Airlines.” For passengers, little has changed, but behind the scenes, Hawaiian Airlines has practically ceased to exist. Before the 2010s, Alaska Airlines had not made any major airline acquisitions since its acquisitions of Jet America Airlines and Horizon Air in the 1980s, but in 2018,…

Fluor, former Army Spec. Winston Hencely argued that Fluor should be liable under state law for failing to supervise an employee who carried out a suicide bomb attack that killed three…

Aircraft names are typically a sterile combination of letters and numbers with little consideration for public perception. Boeing jets, however, have names that differentiate their planes in the public eye. Each one’s name starts and ends with a seven, while the 787 is also named the Dreamliner, and the current generation of the 737 is called the MAX. In the public eye, the recognizable names build recognition with the average traveler, enhancing brand knowledge. Currently, Boeing sells the 737 MAX, the 767 (767-300F and 767-2C only), the 777X, and the 787 Dreamliner, and it has also produced the 707, the…

We recently saw the opening of the new Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur, located at the very top of the Merdeka 118 building, which is the tallest hotel in all of Asia-Pacific (by my math, it’s the world’s second highest hotel).This is easily my favorite Hyatt property I’ve ever stayed at, as there’s just so much to love about this hotel, from the design, to the height, to the amenities, to the food and beverage outlets, to the service. If I didn’t have a family, I might just stay here forever and never go home. As a hotel and hospitality geek,…
