The current Mexican administration has seen quite a bit of turbulence (terrible pun intended) in the aviation industry. No matter which side you’re on, these events have already happened: A “national referendum” on a new Mexico City Airport. The project that was cancelled after nearly 70% was completed, the Texcoco Airport, was replaced by the […]

The Wednesday Who of Airport Names: Bert Mooney
We’re back for another edition of the Wednesday Who. This time, we’ll be talking about a lesser-known figure in aviation, though no less important than anyone else. The name?

Language Lunes: Geographically Humble Spanish Lessons
A few years ago, I took a brilliant Mexico road trip, starting and ending in the city of Orizaba: My friend and I had to backtrack from San Cris to Tuxtla Gutierrez to get to Palenque, but other than that, this was basically the correct route. Along the road trip, I noticed some amusingly “humble” […]

I can certainly make do with a few of them, and read enough of a trio of others to navigate public transit and menus, but I’m still appreciative of offline translators, for instance, the duo of Google Translate/Google […]
The Wednesday Who: Heriberto Jara Corona (Veracruz, Mexico)
For today’s Wednesday Who, we will be taking a look at Heriberto Jara Corona, whose name was adopted for Veracruz International Airport (VER) in Mexico. This particular airport has a bit more meaning to me than other Wednesday Who posts. I used to fly to Veracruz to visit a friend, who coincidentally hails from Orizaba, […]
Kansas City, Missouri’s New Airport Terminal is Opening This Month
Way back in 2013, with the goal of trying to eat as much KC barbeque as possible, I flew to Kansas City, MO’s international airport (MCI). After a long weekend of trying local staples such as Arthur Bryant’s and Gates Bar-B-Q, I headed back to the airport. Indeed, when MCI opened in 1972, the idea […]
