Airline Weekly

Airline Weekly is a publication that covers airline industry news and analysis for aviation professionals. It reports on the main aviation stories each week and adds detailed tables and charts. The site sits alongside Skift, which carries daily airline news.

The weekly issue brings global analysis and regional pieces. Each issue is written by named analysts, such as Gordon Smith and Jay Shabat. A recent global piece asks five questions about the future and looks at whether airline consolidation can protect carriers in the 2030s. Recent issues cover Delta, Alaska Airlines, Wizz Air, U.S. airlines and Malaysia Airlines, across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The home page shows Skift Travel 200 index figures for airlines, low cost carriers, network carriers, travel and the U.S. and global markets. Daily news stories on Skift cover topics such as jet fuel costs, loyalty programs, lounges and airline leadership changes.

The site also lists research reports. Topics include airline loyalty, shifting industry trends, global distribution systems, low cost carriers, sustainable aviation fuel and premium cabins. Short videos on airline results and strategy are posted on the Skift YouTube channel, along with a preview of the Skift Global Forum 2026 aviation session.

The site has a contact form and links to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and X.
