This week in aviation, EasyJet is preparing for Brexit as actively and confidently as possible, and we take a look at what "premium economy" really means as class definitions evolve.
Airline News Weekly Roundup
Throughout the week we post dozens of original stories, connecting the dots across the travel industry, and every weekend we sum it all up. This weekend roundup examines aviation.
