After this summer of horrible hurricanes, many regions and islands were completely destroyed. The Caribbean is still rebuilding, but travel to the area has returned.
One of the first airlines to get back into the region was Tradewind Aviation. The private airline company was the first on the ground in St. Barts after Hurricane Irma passed through the region. Brothers and co-founders David and Eric Zipkin join Cheddar to explain that despite the devastation, the Caribbean is picking up and moving forward.
The co-founders also discuss their new agreement with United Airlines. The private aviation company has entered into an agreement where customers can book travel to one of Tradewind's island destinations through United Airlines.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
