This week has been one with a wide diversity of airport stories. We received news about a gold heist, a landing gone “belly up”, a flight to the wrong airport, an introduction of a new airport shopping experience, a baggage handler strike and a supercar used for taxing planes.
This week we have three main stories for you plus a little bonus one to finish off. Two stories are again related to this time of the year and come from the same country versus the other two both focus on airport expansions in the wider sense. Before we lift the curtain though, we want … Continue reading This week: more winter, more expansion and more bites
Phew, this one was a big week. We saw tons of aviation relevant articles – most of them featuring around one particular topic from the US. Other stories reached us from Hong Kong, Italy and Greece. Plus we’ve even found another ‘odd news of the week’ piece for you – more about that later.
Well, well, well. It’s surely been an interesting week, which – when you read our headlines – you’ll definitely agree: LaGuardia: Fix it or shut it? Congestion charge at Heathrow if airport expands? Private breastfeeding pods for travelling mums Japanese showroom toilets

Wow, what a week this one was! We’ve almost seen it all and – even more interestingly – some airport related news came from countries we not regularly hear from: Egypt, the Ukraine and Cuba.
The London Olympics are over but if you think that’s the end of Olympic airport news, you’re in the wrong. We found two news articles even after the flames were extinguished. Then, there was a jet skier causing troubles in New York, a further worrying update from Berlin and a “Jackass” in North Carolina.
Well, what can I say? For the first time in the history of the weekly LateDeparture airport news round-ups, I decide to take a leave of absence for a couple days. Plus – and this really was the big mistake – I decide to pre-write the news without a disclaimer of when it was written. … Continue reading This week: Qantas, east coast storm and stranded Everest tourists
Berlin Tegel (IATA: TXL) is a funny airport.

After that a lot had happened in the area (for further details refer to your history … Continue reading Berlin Tegel revisted, probably for the last time
