Flightkeys GmbH’s Post

Spirit Airlines is expected to file for bankruptcy in the coming days. That's not a surprise. There is no way they are profitable with what they charge for fares. We don't have to have experience in the airline industry to know that. Even if you argue that low fares = high volume of customers, there are only so many seats on an airplane. Fixed costs on top of variable costs will eat up any business' profitability. You may have a great concept, the best employees and startup funds, but if you cannot balance income vs expenses, in the end, you will not succeed. That's not to say Spirit cannot recover from Chapter 11, but it's long and hard road ahead. Ask us how we have turned businesses around.

I am thrilled to announce we've added a brand new car to our business fleet! 🚀It's not just a car, it's a stepping stone to delivering better services to all our valued clients.

Is Matthew Ridley's Departure From IAG's Hangar 51 a Setback or Opportunity for Airline Innovation?" After years of steering IAG’s corporate venture and innovation unit, the renowned Hangar 51, Matthew Ridley is officially taking off from his role. This has sparked a cascade of questions over the future arc of commercial aviation innovation - a sector which has increasingly blurred the lines between science fiction and reality under Ridley's leadership. With him departing, many wonder whether new thought leaders will step in with groundbreaking innovations that could potentially alter the course of how we travel short-haul flights in a post-pandemic world? Or perhaps his exit marks an era where we may see less emphasis on radical innovation within IAG? Is this departure indicative of larger shifts within the industry at large? We ask: Where does this leave Hangar 51 and what valuable insights can be taken from Ridley’s time in command? We explore some possible implications for International Airlines Group \(IAG\) during these uncertain times.
