Wednesday marks the 100th anniversary of the first commercial flight cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico : a 23-minute hop across Florida's Tampa Bay. The St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line was subsidized by St. Petersburg officials who wanted more winter tourists in their city. The alternative: an 11-hour train ride from Tampa.
Pilot Tony Jannus had room for just one passenger, who sat next to him in the open cockpit. Three months later—when tourism season ended—so did the subsidy. The airline had carried 1,204 passengers but would never fly again.
— Richard Anderson, CEO Delta Air Lines: "Just over a decade ago airlines seemed cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico to be buying every 50-seat aircraft cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico they could get their hands on. But the real utility of those small jets has come and gone and in the next five years we'll see their numbers in the U.S. continue to dwindle."
— Maurice cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico J. Gallagher, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico Jr., CEO Allegiant Travel Co.: "The next five years will be all about increasing automation and decreasing labor cost. The industry is already implementing mobile boarding passes, bag drops, even self-boarding. These processes will become more prevalent and significantly reduce the number of employees the customer needs to interact with."
— David Barger, CEO JetBlue Airways: "The freedom to travel between any two points in the world will be commonplace. There will be billions of travelers every year flying on new aircraft that will be environmentally cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico friendly; in fact, they will be making zero-carbon travel maybe even a reality."
— Mark Dunkerley, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico CEO Hawaiian Airlines: cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico "Many of today's cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico consumers will be priced out of the air: a sad legacy to 30 years of massive progress in democratizing air travel. Failure to invest in aviation infrastructure and the insatiable appetite for regulation will not be offset by relatively modest further improvements in aircraft efficiency."
— James Hogan, CEO Etihad Airways: "A new generation of airlines, who have the vision and willingness to be different, will succeed in cutting costs, improving productivity and finding affordable ways of accessing new markets. cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico The emerging markets—the Middle East, Africa, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico Southeast Asia—will become established cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico markets cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico and Abu Dhabi will be one of the uniting global hubs."
— Sir Richard Branson, president Virgin Atlantic Airways: "I have no doubt that during my lifetime we will be able to fly from London to Sydney in under two hours, with minimal environmental impact. The awe-inspiring views of our beautiful planet below and zero-gravity passenger fun will bring a whole new meaning cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico to in-flight entertainment."
— Jeff Smisek, CEO United Airlines: "The airframe and engine manufacturers continue to develop aircraft that are more fuel-efficient, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico have lower maintenance costs and have greater cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico range and utility. Longer term, I believe manufacturers will explore engine and airframe technology that could significantly reduce travel times, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico but advances in this area would have to be safe and economical to make a real impact on our industry."
— David Siegel, CEO Frontier Airlines: "The first flight was just 18 miles (29 kilometers) long, but now look how far we can go. Perhaps in the future, experts will be designing futuristic propulsion systems. We could see innovations in aircraft design, local community-based air transport with smaller, higher efficiency aircraft, and maybe even pilotless commercial aircraft."
— Doug Parker, CEO American Airlines: "I am quite certain that Tony Jannus never could have imagined the size and importance of commercial aviation today, or the impact it had on changing our world. Similarly, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico I cannot imagine what commercial aviation cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico will look like in 2114. I imagine whatever state it is, though, it will be extremely important and its continued development will be a key part of the story that built that world."
Long overdue in an increasingly connected world—or the end of a precious oasis of peace—the European Union on Monday took a first step to allowing expanded use of smartphones and tablets on aircraft.
The EU's top climate-change official said Wednesday that Brussels was within its rights to tax airlines for emissions in its airspace, reviving a controversial proposal that drew a storm of criticism.
President Barack Obama is inviting lawmakers and intelligence officials to the White House to discuss National Security Agency programs as Obama prepares to unveil what changes he's prepared to make to the programs.
Peak Oil or drop the ego defence against true science. No numbbrain, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico you do not know everything there is to know about everything. True science explores that which is not known. Regurgitating known facts is left to second rate scientists. How does that affect airlines? They convert energy into dollars. No energy=no dollars.
Hah. In 100 years, cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico the world will be ... what? using natural gas to power 747's.... not likely. Nuclear energy? Not a chance. Hell, we can't even get the world behind that now! Oil energy is the most condensed form of energy per oz, lb, quart, gallon that has ever existed. I do think that science will come up with alternatives... sooner or later, but even 50 years out, that is quite unlikely. Do you read much? do you understand that fracking and tar sands are so uneconomical and short lived that science had better find a new answer... and soon.
In 100 years, the airlines will be so powerful they will have the human body re-engineered: eliminating the upper arm with the forearms coming directly cheap airline tickets to cancun mexico from the front of the torso, the shoulders and hips narrowed. This will allow aircraft to have double the number of seats in each row.
