India’s two biggest airline groups agree to a phased move to Mumbai’s new airport after a standoff over slots, U.S. airlines are betting fast Wi-Fi will steal customers from rivals even though the evidence is mostly anecdotal, and travel’s venture capital and private equity funding falls for a second straight quarter. On today’s Skift Daily Briefing, Tasmin Lockwood, Skift’s Climate and Experiences Reporter, breaks down why moving India’s home carriers to Navi Mumbai was the easy part compared to foreign airlines with connecting traffic, why Starlink is a differentiator for maybe two years before it becomes table stakes, and why the likeliest exit for travel AI startups right now is getting acquired.
