The airlineâs flight attendants union is âdisappointedâ after the company said it would allow all employees to access spare cabin jump seats, according to Sam Wilkins, first vice president of Transport Workers Union Local 556. In a statement shared with The Dallas Morning News, Southwest, which is based at Dallas Love Field, confirmed that it is âre-opening the cabin jumpseat for non-revenue travel to eligible employees later this year.â Jordan Parker/Dallas Morning News <https://ytezitcab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001SK1ur-8MlyY1nqHTAMbYwiXqOIx50T5CUqtJ9mYYBtaN5jrWw3j3OlqIwHp7pgg9axn8CT1rbnHvA7zabfUCLpMfmacfliyPtD5SyLMtxcDuqKsk_1A2eiTck4gjPgoldkb8uIg5C66TR8L6EhdJcjaNPOqIIYvceK4ekYmhglrrskDh9a5q27OLbqS3rK1JLGvRbcPr0ChuKsonwygFZgU5r_LhAk7o8HK-gxKcME2cjXEev5IF7-Ok52I3k-69STfZbGAtudS2DnrYsClmcA==&c=MlyXYixiAIRoSaE20KsrRF-5SI3yDWb32aJEUl4pYhCbQwF_vkMRGQ==&ch=IdElBpti33PL70Kn7TVNy5WZljkBoJsU9V8xavu5Tzk2PUScZZJVig==> Airplanes United Airlines reveals âStars and Stripesâ paint scheme on two planes in honor of Americaâs 250th anniversary Fifty stars painted on deep blue next to seven red and white stripes will take the skies this summer on two United Airlines planes.

The Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation, a public-private partnership that assists businesses in relocating or expanding in the Hudson Valley, is helping facilitate the creation of a fund designed to reduce the financial risk for airlines that begin service at the airport. Currently, only Allegiant Air and Breeze Airways fly out of Stewart, mostly to Florida and a few other Southern destinations.

In his current position as head of Denver International Airport, heâs overseen unprecedented growth. One of his final decrees was to finally solve the airportâs "original sin", in his words. Last month, he announced the airport will repurpose its underground tunnel system to work as pedestrian walkways to get from concourse to concourse, alleviating pressure on the internal train system.
