Lynx Air’s Post

Amidst the lively hum of the airport, surrounded by a familiar language, each conversation unfold a thread weaving tales of journeys, hopes, and yearning. Emersed into the vibrant exchanges of shared experiences in navigating the world's oceans, high seas and distant shore, each story painted a vivid picture of resilience, sacrifice, and longing for home. In those transient moments, the airport transformed into a vessel echoing the fervor of homecoming seafarers and the dreams for future voyages. 🛳️ ⚓️ This contemplative scene leaves me pondering: How intimately do we comprehend the motivations propelling our seafarers forward? How conversant are we with their unfiltered experiences, devoid of pretenses or biases? Perhaps, at the airport gates, we'll find the answers. #AirportEncounters #Seafarers #reflections

Athens and New York are two of my favorite cities, each captivating in its own way. As someone who works in strategy, I've always been fascinated by the story of Athena becoming the goddess of strategy. Visiting Athena's olive tree at the Acropolis in Athens is a must for any leader. Athens, known as the city of wisdom, offers a wealth of historical and cultural insights that can inspire strategic thinking. In New York, the The New York Public Library is an incredible place to visit, housing more than 50 million books and ranking as the third largest library in the world. Here, you can find the famous quote by Albert Einstein, “Question everything except from this statement,” which underscores the importance of curiosity and critical thinking—key elements in strategic planning. Athens and New York are sister cities, both vibrant and diverse, where people from various backgrounds come together, enriching the cultural tapestry.  Last week Norse opened a new route between #Athens and #NY making it even easier for travelers to explore these iconic cities. This new connection brings to mind Mark Twain's wise words: “One must travel to learn.” For leaders and strategists, experiencing the historical depth of Athen and the dynamic energy of New York can provide invaluable insights and inspiration.

I have hotel investment Opportunity in Turks and Caicos, pm for more information! - A lost piece of the British Caribbean is coming in from the cold - A new Virgin Atlantic flight brings the Turks and Caicos Islands, all white sands and five-star playgrounds, a little closer. The approach to Providenciales Airport is the sort of descent – fraught with a nagging anxiety that ratchets up by the minute – that might give more nervous fliers palpitations. Why? Because there is absolutely nothing beyond the window, as the plane drops lower and lower, but an all-encompassing, horizon-spanning, oceanic blue. It all works out, of course. A runway appears, magically, below the wheels, and the aircraft glides to a halt without a hiccup. But long before you touch down, you are aware that the Turks and Caicos are no craggy St Lucia, with twin Pitons probing the sky; no volcanic Nevis pushing its caldera into the clouds. These are flat, coral islands, so low to the Caribbean Sea that you will scarcely spot them before you set foot upon them. Three miles north of the airport, the Blue Hills ridge stands as the archipelago’s highest peak, so to speak, rising to an altitude of 161ft (49m). You will struggle to spot it, as well. I step down onto the tarmac, into a Providenciales International that, similarly, does not claim great scope or stature. You could not mistake it for Barbados’s Grantley Adams Airport, with its near-constant roar of departing engines, and its retired Concorde as a museum piece. The Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 I have emerged from resembles a condor among chaffinches, towering over the smaller planes and private jets dotted about the airfield. It looks so big that I wonder how it has landed here. https://lnkd.in/evhbb7XD #turksandcaicos #TCI #BritishCaribbean #Caribbean #propertysquarellc #FranckRobert #caribbean #centralamerica #RealEstate

Navigating troubled waters The serene waters of the Red Sea, once a popular route for world cruises, have become a battleground of security challenges, reshaping the trajectory of the cruise industry and leaving a ripple effect on the economies of nations that dot its shores. The recent MSC decision to re-route their cruises shed light on the multifaceted impact of the current situation, where geopolitical tensions intersect with the vibrant world of global tourism. MSC Cruises, a prominent player in the cruise industry, recently celebrated the commencement of its annual world cruise. However, the joyous occasion was overshadowed by the announcement that the planned itinerary would undergo significant changes due to security problems in the Red Sea. The MSC Poesia, a 92,627-ton cruise ship, departed from Genova, embarking on a 121-day journey will encounter an alteration of the cruise route, prompted by safety concerns, resulted in the elimination of scheduled stops in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, creating a convoluted path for the ship. Beyond the altered travel plans and logistical challenges faced by the cruise operators, the economic repercussions are felt by the destinations that were originally part of the itinerary. Calls in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia had to be scrapped, translating to a direct loss of revenue for businesses and tourism-related industries in these regions. The economic impact extends to other sectors, as evidenced by the rescheduling of a Red Sea cruise by MSC, reflecting the broader disruption faced by cruise operators in the area. The security challenges in the Red Sea, particularly stemming from Houthi aggression, have triggered naval responses from international forces, including the U.S. Navy. The ripple effect extends beyond cruise operators, impacting businesses, and economies in the regions directly affected. Navigating these troubled waters requires a delicate balance between ensuring safety and preserving the economic vitality of the Red Sea's coastal nations. #redseasecurity #cruiseindustrychallenges #geopoliticalimpact #economicdisruptions #MSCPoesia #globaltourism #maritimesecurity #houthiaggression #navalresponses #travelindustry
