By December 2017, all our B767 fleet will be fitted with flat-bed seats in Cloud Nine with access to a range of video programming available for wireless streaming in all cabins. I would like to congratulate our engineering and maintenance team at Ethiopian MRO for the job well done and wish to pledge to our customers that we shall always strive to ensure their extra comfort every time they fly with us.” Ensuring the right fleet mix for their ongoing mission, Ethiopian Airlines has currently deployed 92 of the youngest (five years average fleet age) and most modern fleet, with future plans to receive a further nineteen A350-900s, four B787-900s and five Q400s.
Air New Zealand bids farewell to Boeing 767s
Air New Zealand's Boeing 767 Air New Zealand has retired its fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft, more than 30 years after the aircraft were first introduced. The airline's last remaining 230-seat 767-300 aircraft took off from Sydney on Friday, for a trans-Tasman flight to Auckland. Upon arrival in New Zealand, the aircraft will be removed from service. Since entering the national carrier’s fleet in 1985, the 767 has flown the majority of Air New Zealand’s long-haul routes. In recent years however, it has been progressively replaced by the larger and more fuel-efficient 787-9 Dreamliner. The airline has a total of 13 787s on order, with deliveries running until late 2018. "The Boeing 767 aircraft has been a stalwart at Air New Zealand for more than 30 years now but moving to operate the modern 787-9 Dreamliners on our long-haul routes will allow us to be more efficient and have a consistent wide-body fleet which will deliver benefits to both the business and customers," said Air New Zealand's chief operations integrity & standards officer, Captain David Morgan. "The use of the larger Dreamliners will result in a capacity increase of around 3% on the trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes. Customers also get to experience our business premier and premium economy cabins on the 787-9 aircraft.” The move also forms part of Air New Zealand's bid to simplify its fleet, with a three-model fleet consisting of single-aisle Airbus A320s and twin-aisle 777s and 787s.
Air Cargo Demand up 4.1% in October: IATA
Representative Image The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for October 2025 global air cargo markets showing: Total demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK), rose by 4.1% compared to October 2024 levels (+4.8% for international operations). Capacity, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTK), increased by 5.1% compared to October 2024 (+6.4% for international operations). “Air cargo demand grew 4.1% year-on-year in October, marking the eighth consecutive month of expansion and setting a new monthly record for volumes. While the Asia-North America trade lane extended its contraction to six months, October saw double-digit or near double-digit growth within Asia, between the Middle East and Europe, and between Europe and Asia. This shifting growth pattern shows that air cargo is enabling global supply chains to adapt to the impact of US tariffs. This positive news is especially significant as the air cargo sector enters the peak fourth quarter shipping season,” said Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General. Several factors in the operating environment should be noted: The global goods trade grew by 5.3% year-on-year in September. Global industrial production rose 3.7% year-on-year in September, the fastest pace since March 2025 and the strongest monthly reading since late 2022. Jet fuel prices increased 2.5% in October even as crude fell, with a tightening diesel market driving the jet crack spread to nearly double last year’s level. Global manufacturing sentiment strengthened slightly in October, with the PMI rising for the third consecutive month to reach 51.45. New export orders deteriorated slightly to 48.31, remaining below the 50-point expansion threshold, reflecting ongoing caution amid tariff uncertainty.

Luxury Travel Redefined: Sustainability, Personalisation, and Hidden Gems
Luxury is evolving. Today’s high-end travellers expect sustainability, privacy, and deeply personalised experiences — all powered by invisible tech. This panel will reveal how luxury brands are using data, design, and digital to redefine exclusivity and future-proof their guest experience. We bring you excerpts from the panel discussion on the topic 'The Future of Luxury: Personalisation, Purpose & Seamless Tech' taking place at TDM Global Summit Singapore 2025. The session is being moderated by Phil Hoffmann AM, founder and executive director, Phil Hoffmann Travel, Panellists include: Francesco Galli Zugaro, owner, Aqua Expeditions; Krystal Tan H L, founder & director, Blue Sky Escapes; Paul Gorman, general manager, Luxury Escapes; Christine Galle, founder and CEO, Heavens Portfolio Experiences driving the market Elaborating on what they have seen post-COVID in their respective areas, Christine Galle said: "The first wave was the travel rush, everybody wanted to get out. The second wave was of more settled travel. In the first wave, it really did not matter what it cost by the second wave, people were okay with a higher cost for better experience driven activities. And now in the third wave, its moved to what are my 'take-aways' from this travel." Krystal Tan H L added: "People are travelling more and for longer, they are opting for slow travel and spending more." Paul Gorman said: "Revenge travel was used widely, that was added to by destinations coming online at various paces. Today the youth are spending more on their holiday. So as travel providers we need to articulate an experience for a digital platform to get that millennium traveller. Try and understand how to engage them best." Exploring Luxury Phil Hoffmann AM queried the panellists on what experiences do luxury travellers want today? Paul Gorman said that in terms of hotels, most greenfield projects are moving towards luxury, different levels of luxury. Francesco added that curated experiences for different client are becoming relevant, their clients were not not essentially cruisers, maybe safari goers, wildlife enthusiasts, it no longer makes sense to stay focussed on the original travellers. Christine Galle said that HNI continue to travel, more collaboration is required to identify and cater to this segment. Maybe the brands are not in the travel segment but they are trying to speak to the same audience. Affinity with brands coming together, collaboration between small operators coming together. Meanwhile Krystal Tan H L added that authenticity and wellness are becoming increasingly relevant to luxury. This segment is growing tremendously. Focussing on identifying and growing talent, she said: If you are not nurturing the people and they are not growing with the brand it would be detrimental for the brand with people leaving. People put the trust and we need to understand peoples emotional need so we provide well." Experience the "Unexplored" Giving a different perspective to overcome over tourism with unique experiences, Francesco added: "We look for places without infrastructure, we don't need harbour's or marinas, our ships anchor in a remote Bay. I just came back back from a 21 night expedition to the remote region of West Papua, where we took three groups of guests for seeing the Agatha region, to see the Asmat tribes in West Papua. And you know, to get there was a Singapore- Jakarta flight, Sarong connecting to Kaimana, and then a two day navigation all the way to Agatha region. So you can imagine that that's the kind of experiences that I love to deliver, and that we will obviously shy away from any destination that caters to anything more than what our ships can." Designing travel experiences to reduce Over Tourism Over tourism Paul added: "Over tourism in Japan, with many people wanting to say the same place. I think you know the environment and social interaction that we as travellers, we do bear responsibility to respect the destination we're traveling to, to immerse yourself into the culture so you understand where you're traveling to, because that's why you travel. So again, going back to that storytelling, create a reason why you're going. You can do the who, the what, the where and how much, but you know why you traveling to this destination, and what are you going to get out of it? So I think it's important that anyone from the supply side should tell the story correctly and make sure you're delivering the right client destination." A lot of the local governments are doing a lot. Galapagos has highly restrictive permits in order to enter. Great work being done at the government, local government level to restrict big ships coming into some of the destinations. It's got some really restrictive visitor landing sites that are benefiting only ships below 39 guests. So that starts to take into effect a lot of these destinations, Aldabra, case in point, in East Africa, you have to register your itinerary of your ship in order to have a permanent that site on that specific day, because they trying to control the carrying capacity of these fragile destinations. Christine Galle, founder and CEO, Heavens Portfolio added, "I follow our hotel project, and I see where they're opening. And so we were talking about Japan. Japan has been the destination for a number of people. We now see hotels going into Korea, opening in Korea. We see hotels opening in Taiwan, whereas there is very little number of inventory yet. So I think the destinations are also dictated by the hotel developments and the capacity of receiving travellers. So I think if you look at the worldwide map and you try and understand where the hotels have, you can define a little bit of where is the next big travel destination." Sustainability at the core of luxury Krystal Tan H L added: " I think it's important that it all boils down and begins with the travel designing process. Of course, when we design our trips, we do take a look at the brands that we want to support, which do pay attention to sustainability, which places less stress on the infrastructure. So just that, just as Christine was sharing, Japan is a huge destination for a lot of Singaporeans. And I think, like the most recent cherry blossom season, people were saying that there were more people than cherry blossoms. In those cases, usually with Japan, we try to push the more off the pinna trail destination in Japan. So you've got Saga Prefecture, you've got Nikita, the smaller fringe type of cities and prefectures. And also, even in the way that people travel, we were the first to actually organize a nomadic migration on horseback in Mongolia. And we do a lot of migrations in Mongolia, also because we don't want to be stressing the land a lot, so when you actually supporting the local communities, you're helping them to move the entire site. So it helps the land to heal each time that they're moving to the next location. So I think as travel designers, it is also our responsibility to partner well with them." Elaborating on the top destinations for 2026 the main ones came across as Scandinavian and Lap land destinations, people want to see the northern lights, parts of Africa, Sri Lanka and the Arctic.

He emphasized that this constructive cooperation between state institutions plays a vital role in achieving shared goals and advancing the country’s cultural and tourism development.

Rocket Travel by Agoda releases its latest report: The Loyalty Value Playbook
A new report co-developed by Skift and Rocket Travel by Agoda points out that many loyalty programmes face a widening value gap between what members want and what brands deliver. Titled The Loyalty Value Playbook: Redemption Experience and Cash Spend as the New Benchmarks for Customer Growth, the report takes note of the rapid evolution of customer expectations and how the world’s perception of traditional loyalty models is also changing at a rapid clip. The Playbook likewise offers a practical blueprint to close the aforementioned loyalty gap. With 77 percent of consumers now quicker to drop a program than they were three years ago, this underscores how consumers are increasingly prioritizing loyalty on platforms that deliver value through clarity, flexibility, and relevance throughout the customer journey. Why now? Rocket Travel By Agoda developed the guide to help companies understand why traditional loyalty programs may need to evolve to meet modern guest expectations, risking lost revenue for brands. For instance, according to Antavo’s Global Customer Loyalty Report, only around 50 percent of loyalty points earned are redeemed, while in a report by Cordial, 43 percent of customers stopped participating because the rewards took too long to earn. Grounded in original research, case studies, and expert interviews, the playbook shows how well-crafted loyalty programs drive repeat bookings and cash spend, strengthening guest relationships. By leveraging zero-friction experiences and AI-driven personalization, it empowers travel brands spanning airlines, hotels, and beyond to meet the demands of modern travelers, in line with Agoda’s commitment to making travel more accessible and rewarding. As Rocket Travel head Damien Pfirsch puts it: "The challenge and opportunity for loyalty programs is that expectations haven’t shifted from one set of benefits to another, they have expanded. Travelers still want the traditional perks, but they also expect more, making loyalty harder to manage. This report equips travel brands with a playbook to rebuild guest trust through clear, flexible, and relevant loyalty experiences, boosting both point redemptions and cash bookings." A relevant guide In line with the report’s release, Rocket Travel by Agoda also launched a guide to help companies transform failing loyalty programs based on clear metrics. The guide includes six capabilities that focus on getting the most out of loyalty programs by focusing on best practices in redemption, usability, transparency, and exclusivity. Relevant measures include: Data and Personalisation Engine: Harness guest behavior and AI-driven insights to deliver tailored recommendations, increasing redemption value and booking conversions. Partner and Inventory Strategy: Expand high-quality room and experience inventory with competitive pricing and exclusive perks like early check-in or late checkout. Marketing Technology and Customer Journeys: Minimize point breakage with lifecycle messaging and clear value explanations to spur repeat cash bookings. Governance and Controls: Enforce fair dynamic pricing with transparent rules and advance notices to sustain guest trust and reduce complaints. Cross-Functional Ways of Working: Unite loyalty, operations, and data teams to optimize metrics like repeat cash bookings and guest lifetime value.
