Considering the United States was the only major country to bar flights from Turkey’s airlines, it makes sense that that ban could be lifted relatively quickly.

There's no doubt the airlines could sell a lot of tickets on these undeveloped routes. But would carriers make money fly them? Or would average fares be too low?

For United, this went about as well as the airline could have hoped. Now the airline can refocus its attention on winning back customers.

Airlines remain highly profitable, but there are signs U.S. carriers may be expanding too much. We'll find out soon whether other carriers will follow Delta's lead and moderate their growth.

Airlines aren't in the business of giving stuff away for free any more, so expect more airlines to consider seat auctions or other ways to monetize items they used to give away to loyal flyers.

Despite the radical changes to airline loyalty programs, the branded credit card remains one of the industry's most profitable and productive marketing programs.

Hawaiian Airlines and JetBlue Airlines are once again ganging up on Delta. But this time it's about Mexico, not the Middle East.

Do you like super fast Internet the sky? You might want to thank ViaSat, which persuaded airlines they could do better.

The Norwegian Air saga has taken another unusual turn. But fear not, travelers. The airline will keep flying between the U.S. and Europe, and the airline will continue offering low fares.
