On-Air with Dan and Alex

Emirates World's MOST Profitable Airline?!


Listen Later

In this episode of On-Air, Dan and Alex cover Dan’s recent Emirates First Class trip with his mom—unintentionally timed for Mother’s Day—and a dramatic journey from Delhi amid heightened India–Pakistan tensions. They discuss how airspace closures are increasingly weaponized, forcing costly reroutes and delays. Dan shares the chaos of flying through a potential conflict zone, while Alex highlights how fragile modern aviation has become. They also unpack Emirates becoming the world’s most profitable airline, IAG’s new aircraft orders, and speculate on the rising prominence of the 787-10. Other highlights include aviation mishaps like Cathay Pacific accidentally serving wine to a 3-year-old, Q&A on coat hooks in economy class, Iberia’s poor compensation practices, and Newark’s air traffic system outages.
