@DublinAirport Boston is the busiest transfer destination from @DublinAirport. #DidYouKnow.
@Oliver__Clark Michael O’Leary predicts Europe will experience ‘the mother and father of all price wars’ this winter.
@ghimlay @Avianca will defer five aircraft deliveries (out of 11) in 2016, with weakness in Latin America.
@RAeSTimR Airshows not just nostalgia – but play vital role in inspiring young.
