Airline with generally lower fares
POPULARITY
United's Scott Kirby makes it official — the era of dirt-cheap airfares is over, a travel agency startup just hit a billion-dollar valuation by betting human taste beats AI, and JetBlue launches buy-now-pay-later flights with a catch worth reading closely. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why the structural changes in aviation mean the floor on airfares is permanently higher, how Fora Travel built a billion-dollar business by recruiting people who love travel rather than people who work in it, and what JetBlue's new flight financing product gets right and where it gets complicated.

Summer travel season is getting underway. But this year, travelers are facing a perfect storm of new pressures in the airline industry. The budget airline Spirit Airlines has collapsed after years of financial struggles, eliminating one of the country's biggest low-cost carriers just as millions of Americans prepare to fly for their summer vacation. At the same time, the war in Iran is driving up fuel costs and disrupting global aviation routes, raising concerns about higher ticket prices and fewer options for travelers. Questions remain about what flying will look like in the months ahead — and whether the era of cheap, easy air travel is starting to disappear. USA TODAY Consumer Travel Reporter Zach Wichter joins The Excerpt to talk about what all of this means for summer travelers.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

It's way more than fuel costs that pushed Spirit Airlines to the brink of liquidation and led President Trump to muse about “buying” them. Many low cost airlines are struggling due to a canny and calculated set of strategies from bigger airlines that we can think of as ‘revenge of the legacy carriers.' Today on the show, we go back in time to when Spirit was riding high and pressuring the whole industry to cut costs. We talk with then-CEO Ben Baldanza about his radical vision for cheap air travel and then travel to the present day to hear how legacy airlines beat Spirit and other budget airlines at their own game. Plus, what happens to us passengers if Spirit does go away.

In this episode of On Boards, Chris Cuddy, a seasoned executive and board leader with over 25 years of experience growing technology-enabled companies in both the private and public sectors shares invaluable insights into the evolution of a company's board as it progresses through different growth stages. He discusses how the board's role shifts over time from hands-on support to formal governance. His unique perspective is informed by his extensive career, including key roles in companies like Cheapflights, Engage, and ezCater, as well as his background in consulting, investment, and board leadership. Key Topics Discussed: Stages of Board Evolution in Startups Seed Stage: Founders are often the primary board members, with activities blurred between governance and management. Chris recalls the “early days” of ezCater, likening the stage to “two founders and a PowerPoint.” Startup Stage: Boards begin to focus on defining product-market fit and may introduce angel investors. Chris describes his hands-on involvement with ezCater at this stage, from customer calls to financial planning. Growth Stage: The board's role formalizes with the introduction of venture capital. The addition of independent board members and committees becomes essential in order to scale. Chris shares how ezCater's board evolved to support rapid expansion across the U.S. Maturity Stage: The board is now primarily focused on governance, with a clear distinction between board and management roles. Chris reflects on how the board transitions into “maintenance mode.” Renewal or Decline: Boards help strategize paths to either reinvigorate or prepare for acquisition. Chris recounts his experience with Engage, navigating challenges during the tech bubble burst. Key Traits of a Functional Board Selecting board members with domain expertise, cultural fit, and a shared commitment to supporting the company. Chris discusses the importance of a highly functional board in advancing a company's mission and creating stability. The Role of the Board Chair Chris highlights the importance of the board chair as a bridge between the founders and board members, ensuring transparent communication and balanced input. He shares insights on the unusual longevity of his role as ezCater's board chair, attributing it to his ability to adapt as the board and company evolved. Unique Challenges and Responsibilities in Early-Stage Boards Chris describes the blurred line between governance and management in the initial stages, emphasizing that board members may often act as extensions of the executive team, especially in strategic, operational, and fundraising efforts. Building the Board with Intentionality Chris emphasizes the importance of selecting investors who bring value beyond capital, often influencing the board's dynamic and direction. Chris and Raza discuss the need for careful vetting of potential investors and board members to maintain a cohesive and effective board culture. Memorable Quotes: Chris Cuddy on the role of the board in the growth stage: "The ambition and time frames often require venture capital, but this step requires serious reflection. ‘Will this change the DNA of the company?'” Board dynamics: “A functional board isn't just about expertise—it's about cultural fit and motivation to support the founders and company's best interests.” On the board chair's responsibilities: “The chair is a bridge between board members and founders, ensuring transparent communication and insuring that everyone's voice is heard.” Takeaways for Board Members and Founders: Understand the shifting role of the board at each company growth stage. Prioritize a balanced board composition that brings both expertise and alignment with the company's culture. In early stages, board members often play a quasi-executive role, actively participating in operational decisions. For sustainable growth, founders and the board must align on long-term vision, values, and expectations for governance.
