The architecture is unremarkable, to put it kindly, and the address is enough to send shivers down the spines of hip Manhattanites, whose forays into Queens generally are confined to the annual US Open tennis tournament in nearby Flushing Meadows. Looks can be deceiving, however, because this is the new headquarters of JetBlue Airways. When you are one of only three or four airlines in the Western Hemisphere that is profitable and growing, you don't need fancy digs or a midtown address to impress. http://www.atwonline.com/current_feature.cfm *This month's Editorial Missed connection By J.A.

"We put two basic criteria down as starting points," Director-Development and Civil Engineering Frederic Gozlan tells AE&T. http://www.atwonline.com/current_aet_feature.cfm *Travel Technology Update OpenTravel Alliance to define 'compliance' The OpenTravel Alliance, which for four years has been developing open universal data specifications for communication within the travel industry, is moving into a new phase of its existence: determining the meaning of "OTA compliance." http://www.atwonline.com/news_travel_technology-update.cfm CENTENNIAL OF FLIGHT *5th installment in the series In celebration of the first 100 years of flight, ATW is pleased to present a year-long series of articles that will track the Wright Brothers' 12 months of development that culminated in the first flight on Dec. 17, 1903, plus how they invented the technology that made that flight possible.
