Tweets of the day:
@e_russell Lufthansa will make a decision on 45% stake @FlyingBrussels stake in 2016.
@ghimlay @VirginAmerica is canvassing market for new aircraft for 2017 and 2018.
@ghimlay Flux at @iflycaribbean continues – CEO Michael DiLollo has quit, shortly after airline said it will drop LGW and 767s.
@KristineOwram #Bombardier CEO: Quebec govt investment is “all about giving confidence that the CSeries will be there and BBD will be there.” $BBD.B.
@winglets747 Delta blames A4A as reason to leave. Delta blames “subsidised” capacity as reason to exit Dubai. What if the problem is actually…Delta?.
@winglets747 By 2040, Shenzhen airport expects to handle 63 million passengers a year – the size of Hong Kong airport in 2014.
@winglets747 Qantas & Air New Zealand left AAPA trade group, IAG et al left AEA and now Delta leaves A4A. Increasing complexity sees divergence on issues.
