Enplaned: aero-blogger takes off

Discovered via Joel on Software, via TailRank, via Scoble (this is beginning to sound like an Oscar speech - “I’d like to thank my agent, my mother…)
Enplaned launched mid-November, intent on bringing the world of airlines and commercial aerospace to the blogosphere.

It got into its stride very quickly and is partiuclarly well written.
For example, take this post about Ryanair’s strife at Dublin (O’Leary Climbs Down): 

One of Ryanair’s strategies is to beat up airports. It threatens to take traffic away from airports that raise fees or otherwise displease Ryanair. This works with small airports where Ryanair may be the only airline bringing traffic to that airport…
But it’s a totally different story at the big airports. Like it or not, there is only one Dublin, there is only one London, and the number of airports that serve cities like this is finite. In the case of Dublin there’s only one airport.

  And IdleWild, the author, has a great line about Ryanair’s CEO:

Michael O’Leary is never one to use honey when he could use vinegar

  No blogger ever spoke a truer word.
