Written By Next Trip

Aired on June 17, 2024

Virgin Atlantic celebrates 40 years of service this month. We reminisce about the groundbeaking airline's growth and how it's looking to rejuvenate with new management. In other news, Doug is summering in Breckenridge and, for balance, Drew's operations center is flooded. Spoiler…it was a crappy situation. Also on this episode:

  • Alaska loses to the Virgin Group in a $160 million trademark case

  • FAA reports unruly passenger incidents remain high

  • Lufthansa and IAG being asked for more concessions for their acquisitions of ITA and Air Europa, respectively

  • Southwest’s new investor, Elliott Investment Management, demands changes

  • What is a coterminal and what does that mean for passengers
