Dubai’s passenger rights framework means one regulator, one rulebook. The details around enforcement are still to come, though.

Airlines are quickly adding new routes out of some of Spirit’s biggest cities, including Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Atlantic City.

Airline failures are an accepted part of the industry rough-and-tumble in many countries. Spirit's collapse is forcing a fresh look at the costs and benefits of America's protectionist instincts.

Dubai spent years chasing the 100 million passenger milestone — the war pushed it back a year in a single month.

Air India is trimming international flights as fuel costs surge and routes lengthen, all while continuing its search for a new CEO.

Spirit Airlines is no more. The pioneer of ultra-low-cost flying in the U.S. was ultimately undone by surging fuel prices, failed bailout talks, and a model that couldn’t keep pace with a changing market.
