Tweets of the day:
@e_russell Lessors are talking about difficulties placing used 777s in the market. #AscendSF15.
@e_russell “I think it’s a challenging market on the 777,” says Edmund Tatar of GMT Global Republic Aviation #AscendSF15.
@e_russell “You’ve seen a veritable explosion of [777] assets available,” continues GMT’s Tatar. Include MAS and Transaero aircraft. #AscendSF15.
@e_russell Comments from lessors today suggest that @Delta chief Anderson’s comments on abundant used 777s were accurate. #AscendSF15.
@winglets747 IATA’s EU Aviation Package view: European economy and consumers must benefit. But stops short of calling for liberalisation (i.e. w/ Gulf).
