U.S. and International Airlines at a Strategic Crossroads

In this week’s Airline Weekly Lounge, Jay Shabbat and guest-host Meghna Maharishi unpack the biggest takeaways from Skift Global Forum in New York. The discussion spans airline labor challenges easing in the post-pandemic years, the impact of delayed aircraft deliveries on capacity and growth, and shifting demand patterns across the United States of America, Asia, and international markets. They also explore how network strategies are evolving, where low-cost carriers are pressing for expansion, and what global growth signals mean for legacy airlines.
