We hope you enjoyed your summer as much as we did ours. After a two-week summer hiatus, Skift Airline Weekly editors are back working on the Sept. 9 issue. In the next edition, we’ll take a deep dive in the state of China’s airlines now that they’ve reported their second-quarter earnings. Demand remains strong, but future growth could be affected by infrastructure constraints and economic travails.

We’ve been keeping our oar in during the summer with Skift Airline Weekly Lounge podcasts. Episodes during our hiatus included an interview with former Flybe CEO Christine Ourmières-Widener and one with current AirBaltic CEO Martin Gauss. A new episode, an interview with Hawaiian CEO Peter Ingram, airs Thurs., Sept. 5, and will be available on airlineweekly.skift.com and wherever you get your podcasts.

Until Sept. 9.
