Dallas Love Field Loses an Airline Later this year, Delta and Southwest will be left as the only two remaining airlines regularly serving the North Texas airport.

This makes sense considering @alaskaairlines.bsky.social are part of the Oneworld Alliance and with @americanair.bsky.social having a stronger presence at DFW, it increases efficiency. airlinegeeks.com/2025/02/11/d... #iflyalaska #alaskaairlines #americanairlines #oneworld #dfwairport

From the first to the last. 56 years ago, the Boeing 747 made its first flight and two years ago, the last 747 was delivered to Atlas Air. Even though the queen of the skies is no longer in production, its impact on aviation is still felt today. #boeing747 #queenoftheskies #boeing

It’s official! Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 went supersonic in the same place where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. A new era in aviation is upon us. Here’s hoping that this will lead to bigger things to come with the Overture. #boomsupersonic #boomsupersonicoverture #aviation #supersonicflight

The A330neo is growing on me a lot.

Happy birthday to the F-14 Tomcat. While this plane was made famous by Top Gun, the plane also had a prominent role in The Final Countdown. Also another interesting fact, the tomcat with the number 202 is now at The Museum of Flight!

Delta Vs Alaska: The New Airline Rivalry This week, the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks renew their rivalry on Sunday Night Football and I felt like this would be the perfect week to go into airline rivalries. And what better way ...

In light of the Packers playing the Seahawks this coming Sunday, here’s a blog post about another big Seattle rivalry, Delta vs Alaska! Enjoy! www.jetsettingjam.com/post/delta-v... #deltaisreadywhenyouare #iflyalaska

Take notes Seattle.

The other day, I finally got to fly on a beaver with Kenmore Air. Now all I need to fly on is a Turbo Beaver in the Kenmore fleet.

New aircraft for my collection. A classic Delta Tristar.

Another low cost carrier reinventing themselves. The Alaska-Hawaiian merger really made a big effect on these low cost carriers and are forcing change. It’s also why Spirit is on bankruptcy.

More developments for United at IAD.

It’s official. Lufthansa will acquire ITA in early 2025.

Alaska-Hawaiian Merger: The First Days Since my post one year ago first covering this airline merger, Alaska finally completed their acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. Due to this, I felt inspired by YouTube Channel Lousiana Rail Production...

As promised, here’s a new post talking about the early days of the Alaska Airlines-Hawaiian Airlines merger and its impact on the industry. #alaskaairlines #hawaiianairlines #iflyalaska #oneworld #travel #commercialaviation www.jetsettingjam.com/post/alaska-...

Some updates on posts coming up. All tentative as of now but here is what’s down the pipeline:
- Alaska and Hawaiian, the early days
- Where can Emirates fly the A350
- Tata and Air India: Two years later
- A new series called “What once was” regarding past airlines/old hubs from fallen flags

Without proper maintenance, the A320neo and A321neo aircraft are expected to be decommissioned starting in 2026.

This will be interesting.

Some of these mad dogs were ex Midwest. I remember having those cookies back in the day.

Did you know? In addition to floatplanes, Kenmore Air has a small fleet of land based caravans?

More catches when I was volunteering at Museum of Flight today.

Thank you!
