Did you know that Air France intends to exceed the EU net zero targets, not just meet them? I had a fascinating conversation with Vincent Etchebehere on how exactly he will do that on my #podcast Sustainability In The Air. While…lnkd.in/g7qS3HE5 lnkd.in/gyrCdfFj

The most amazing stories among legacy airlines come from legacy staff. The longest-serving flight attendant at Air New Zealand has just retired - he's seen everything from the 747s to Rico (remember!) to the SkyCouch. When I wrote my book SOAR, some of…lnkd.in/gUjvCASz

Way to go! Happy staff = happy customers = happy shareholders! In that order. Made my day Mark Gower. #paxex #customerservice #airports lnkd.in/gymz9QNF

I’m *not* going to Paris Air Show this year. I did a long-haul trip this month and didn’t want to do another back-to-back. This reduces my CO2 emissions by at least 1.5 tons. This is demand management in practice. Earlier this year, when planning the fir…lnkd.in/gVA7zcyY

Did you know that Air Canada auto-offsets emissions when you redeem miles? This addresses the “double whammy emissions” of loyalty programs. One of the realities of frequent flier programs is that they inevitably lead to higher emissions. People earn mi…lnkd.in/gMjSZ65y

KLM’s was the most “visitor friendly” airline HQ I’ve ever visited. There was free WiFi in the lobby and even a screen with NPS score! In the past 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to visit 64 airline headquarters. Some were posh, while others were like…lnkd.in/gpEEkBdY

I wrote recently about my experience visiting the KLM headquarters and received a fantastic response. So I thought I'd compile the top 3 (ok, 5!) best airline offices I've been to in 15 years. Since starting SimpliFlying, I've fl…lnkd.in/dTtnyxnk lnkd.in/dnUqygR5

Delta Air Lines acquired over 1 million *new* SkyMiles members since it introduced free in-flight WiFi. This is significant because Skymiles members spend 5X more than non-members. Their wifi also has a 40% uptake. At their latest investor day today in…lnkd.in/dg92svwn

When I interviewed Zita Schellekens for my #podcast, she'd just taken the train from Paris to Amsterdam instead of flying. So I dove right into how #KLM is tackling #sustainability in a world where intermodality is real. You see,…lnkd.in/giha2MeU lnkd.in/gv_DSKBS

I finally had my first #intermodal experience, thanks to my flight from Amsterdam to Hamburg getting cancelled earlier this month. I took a Flixbus, travelling way more sustainably as a result. Here's how it happened. I was to fly to Hamburg on Eurowings…lnkd.in/gmqjbmMG

15 years ago, I started up SimpliFlying as an outsider to aviation. We scaled up with grit to serve over 100 airlines and airports. Now, we're using our experience to help startups like CirculAIRity make aviation sustainable. When Jason Sprague reached…lnkd.in/gZMrHpfP

United airlines offered 30,000 miles to each passenger whose flights were cancelled this past week due to disruptions. Do you think that’s right? Do you think it’s enough? If you had dinner delivered from a restaurant and had a Delhi-belly afterwards, wo…lnkd.in/g_6vfh7s

A man flew 1.46 million miles in 2023, all in Business Class, mostly for the sake of earning miles and then redeeming them. And he's in the news. Why are excesses like these being celebrated? Indulge me while I geek out. Drilling into the numbers, if he…lnkd.in/gQiuRwnU

What if an airline ran a "Rent-The-Runway" concept? We'd get Japan Airlines' latest *AnywearAnywhere* initiative, allowing travellers to rent clothes upon arrival rather than pack them. Would you try this concept? The airline will allow anyone with a boo…lnkd.in/gEE8Wy9a

This is what Day 0 looks like. It also smells like fresh paint. It makes an echo sound. It feels cold to touch. It’s fresh and full of possibilities. When Shawn Kanungo shared in his latest book that the boldest of people are not scared to go from “hero…lnkd.in/gYdCkauG

Here's a 5 min summary of a 600-page report from the most important man you've never heard about: Partha Das Gupta. Why am I sharing it? It's hard to achieve growth and sustainability, especially in aviation. You see, #aviation is one of the hardest indu…lnkd.in/gE9u8ShW
