Tweets of the day:
@AerLingus Smart move #Kimye. We’ve been naming planes after saints for decades.
@AirlineFlyer Next year, @British_Airways will resume JFK-LGW and @airfrance will begin JFK-ORY. Battle of the big guys flying to the “other” airports.
@ghimlay @United continues to look for investment opportunities that will make sense, following @azulinhasaereas investment, says Compton.
@ghimlay @United looking at “all options” for 100-seat aircraft order, says Compton, who won’t comment on any specific type.
@ghimlay @United hopes to eventually serve 20-25 destinations in China, says Znotis, but he acknowledges this is “way down the road”.
