Airline News

Forty years sounds like a long time, but in aviation it’s barely long enough time to get your kit together.

The growth of connectivity and entertainment in-flight is both encouraging and impressive. We still feel the birds-eye view from the window is the most thrilling and entertaining thing about being on a plane, but it's great to have something to do when the lights are off.

It's a clean, modern and functional space that manages to be lovely and cosy. That's a delicate combination that Priestmangoode has executed beautifully.

Our lungs already feel cleaner when considering airports like Amsterdam Schiphol and Oslo Airport. We just hope airlines follow suit and become more bullish about reducing their carbon footprints too.
