Turbulence Ahead for Airlines (and Passengers)
As we plot out our flightpaths for Labor Day weekend, there is a dark cloud over the airline industry. Airlines are cutting routes, using smaller planes and adding even more fees. Joining The Takeaway this morning to discuss the high price of travel is Michelle Higgins, the travel reporter for our partner The New York Times. We are also joined by Grace Andrews, the founder and chief executive of Ignite, a corporate change company in Massachusetts; she a frequent flyer.
