Are Commercial Passengers Fed Up?
In the course of this month so far, we've seen a major terror
plot foiled in Britain... restrictions against all liquids in
carry-on bags here in the US... and fears that laptops, MP3 players
and cell phones might be next on the list of things passengers
can't fiddle with during the flight.
Is that having an effect on passenger bookings? ANN put that
question recently to Tom Parsons... chief of travel booking website
BestFares.com.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
The grim search for clues continues at the site of that
Tu-154 crash in the Ukraine...
A Northwest Flight from Europe to India returns to the
airport under fighter escort...
And an AirTran flight diverts on its way from Atlanta to New
York... because the captain suspected a liquid explosive may have
been smuggled on board...
...And More

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
