Aviation: Spirit Airlines - is that hand luggage, or am I just pleased to see you?
Spirit Airlines tags its website with "cheap tickets, cheap flights, discount airfare, cheap hotels, cheap car rentals, cheap travel." It doesn't add, as it perhaps should, cheap tricks. For now it costs more to fly your hand luggage than it costs to fly you. And either they sting you at the gate or rely on breakage to increase their "take."

Aviation, Shipping & Freight
The Aviation Industry is in constant turmoil. New airlines, new business models and constant external challenges are producing a volatility that makes business difficult to plan and plans difficult to execute.
Shipping is an industry that exists to service other industries: and its fate is therefore tied to the fate of the wider economy.
Freight, too, is effectively a sub-set of the wider economy, dependent on the health and wealth of individuals and businesses.
