Event Planner & Travel News April 2016 V I D E O A G E 36 $22 Billion In Profits and Air Travelers Get Free Peanuts In 2015, the four major U.S. airlines earned a total of $22 billion in profits. As a token of appreciation, they restored free snacks in “cattle” class (a.k.a. coach). Naturally, airfares (as explained by The New York Times ) have remained high, except for routes where they face competition from low-cost airlines. In most cases, airfares have increased. This once again proves that mergers, and especially the recent rush of airlines mergers, are no good for consumers, but only for the companies, lobbyists and politicians who benefit from lobbying money. The Times also reported that at Newark International Airport, “where United (which merged with Continental) accounts for 70 percent of flights, airfares are the highest among the nation’s top airports.” MIP-TV April 4-7 Cannes, France Tel: (212) 370-7470 Fax: (212) 370-7471 www.miptv.com VideoAge bonus distribution Tribeca Film Festival April 13-24 New York, U.S. Tel: (212) 941-2400 Fax: (212) 941-3939 www.tribecafilm.com NABShow Las Vegas April 16-21 Las Vegas, U.S. Tel: (202) 595-2052 www.nabshow.com VideoAge bonus distribution Hot DOCS April 28-May 8 Toronto, Canada Tel: (416) 203-2155 Fax: (416) 203-0446 www.hotdocs.ca Cannes Film Festival May 11-22 Cannes, France Tel: (33 1) 5359 6100 Fax: (33 1) 5359 6110 www.festival-cannes.fr L.A.
