That's a wrap for me on #AviationFest, with a few more stories yet to be written. But, first, a weekend getaway with @linneaharts.bsky.social, starting from the Calatrava-designed Oriente Station.

Fun how the angle of light changes the view.

Interesting comment from Amy Burr, head of SKY VC (formerly JetBlue Ventures): "clean" tech is no longer as important, rolled into "frontier tech." AI is a bigger focus.

Also says autonomous booking agents aren't going to happen, which I agree with. Travel choices are too personal.

Took a walk through the #AviationFest show floor this morning, actually looking at the booth graphics. There are more mentions of "Agentic" or "AI" than I could fit in the video. 🤯

And I probably didn't get them all.

Kicking off Day 2 of #AviationFest in Lisbon with the Chairman of TAP very much not discussing the expected announcement later today of his airline's new owner/investor.

Keynote session starting at #AviationFest, with so many empty seats, thanks to the security situation. I feel badly for the speakers talking to an empty room.

A beautiful morning for #AviationFest, and also absurd security lines.

Whole lot of unhappy exhibitors, sponsors, and guests to start the day.

And, of course, the work parts:
Chairing the #IFEC track at World #AviationFest in Lisbon next week.
Touring the newly expanded @panasonic.aero factory in Osaka where IFE screens are built
Moderating a panel at #APEXFTEEXPO in Singapore
