If cell phones were such a threat to aviation, wouldn't the Transportation Security Administration confiscate your smartphone instead of that water bottle you forgot in your backpack?

The Transportation Department announced a $2 million penalty against JetBlue for chronic delays, marking a significant enforcement of accountability for airlines' scheduling practices.

American Airlines will launch new longer-haul routes from LaGuardia Airport, targeting leisure travelers, with flights to Bozeman, Kalispell, and Calgary, commencing June 2025. This provision stems from LaGuardia's 'perimeter rule' waiver on Saturdays, allowing flights over 1,500 miles to operate. Despite the advantage, the Saturday-only schedule poses challenges due to lower demand, mirroring previous struggles faced by airlines like Delta, who have had to cut routes because of this limitation.
