When an airline announces a new direct route, what’s really happening behind the scenes? This episode explores the complex machinery of air travel, from overfly rights and airport slot negotiations to financial modeling and geopolitical risks. Using the short-lived Israel-Ireland route as a case study, we break down the invisible infrastructure that makes—or breaks—a flight. Learn why launching a route can take years, how airlines mitigate risks, and what happens when everything falls apart.
