Does Aviation Really Understand Generation Z?
Had a very passionate young guest on this episode, a fascinating conversation with Giacomo Gheda, a Gen Z avgeek from Italy. Giacomo spoke about his dreams and hopes for the industry and its future. These two words of his stayed with me: Dream & Do! The dreamers who are the doers will be the aviation professionals of the future. ✈️ Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

Loyalty & Destinations - When Local Matters!
Passtination takes loyalty beyond the flight! Connecting travellers with local restaurants, cafés, hotels, experiences and businesses through an airline-branded digital pass.It gives travellers a reason to discover local, gives local businesses access to international visitors, and allows airlines to remain part of the journey long after the aircraft has landed.On this episode of Sky Lounge, I am joined by Safir Jamal, CEO of Passtination, to talk about loyalty, local discovery and why the destination could be the next big opportunity for airlines.and BTW if you are wondering how Passtionation got it's name;Passtination is a combination of pass + destination. The “pass” reflects the digital wallet pass passengers use to access local benefits, while “destination” reflects the idea that the relationship continues after the passenger lands. Hosted on Acast.

Going BEOND Just Luxury Travel
Hello everyone, and welcome to The Sky Lounge Podcast!In this episode, Alex & self sit down with Tero Taskila, CEO of Beond, the airline redefining travel as the world’s first premium leisure airline.Beond is far from a traditional carrier, and this conversation explores what it really means to build an airline around luxury, leisure, and a completely different business mindset. From business model innovation to the future of premium travel, this is a wide-ranging discussion packed with fresh insights and bold ideas. And yes, they do have ROUND THE WORLD tickets, if you want to go BEOND the grind of normal travel.For more information on Tero, do check out his Linkedin profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/terotaskila/Recommend reading this article from Tero on Linkedin, especially if you are setting out on an entrepreneurship journey or have an innovative idea that you want to see come to life;Every New Thing Is Born Into Doubthttps://www.linkedin.com/pulse/every-new-thing-born-doubt-tero-taskila-cxjqf/?trackingId=YNp6Tid5QXOeaLELC%2FOjqg%3D%3DTero’s article argues that every genuinely new idea or innovation inevitably faces a predictable cycle of resistance—starting with skepticism, then often turning into cynicism, before eventual acceptance if it proves its value. The core message is that doubt is not a signal that something is wrong, but rather a natural and necessary filter that all meaningful progress must pass through. Instead of avoiding criticism, innovators should expect it, endure it, and use it as validation that they are doing something truly new; in this sense, persistence through early doubt is what separates ideas that fade away from those that ultimately reshape industries or thinking.Tero ends the article with this "Most companies do not fail because the doubters were right. They fail because the founders and/or investors ran out of patience before the evidence arrived."Tune in & enjoy the conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Losing (Your) Spirit
This episode had more that it's fair share of focus on low cost airlines. Wizz Air Abu Dhabi has packed up and left, Spirit has filed for bankruptcy… again, and we share a few stories from our own recent trips on budget carriers. Of course, you can’t talk low-cost without mentioning their favorite workhorses—the Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s and woo hoo, we may have a new market #1 soon!Alex also tells us about her not-so-smooth experience trying to use the United Airlines app from outside the U.S., and David comes back buzzing with passion and connections from the ICAO NGAP conference in Durban.To round it all off, we chat about airlines, brand value, and why airlines rank so low in global brand rankings!Here's a quick quizzer for you - I made a factual mistake in the PODCAST. Can you point out what it is? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They also dove into the latest Boeing and Airbus forecasts—yes, there are lots of planes on the horizon. Plus, the recent IATA conference delivered some fascinating insights and statistics.https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2025-speeches/2025-06-02-01/ Enjoy the episode! Hosted on Acast.
