Tweets of the day:
@e_russell Not surprised, it’s a hub-to-point route for @KLM_US. KLM to end AMS-DFW in 2016.
@ghimlay US and Cuba are hoping to reach a deal on commercial flights by the end of the year.
@ReutersAero #Mitsubishi says reviewing entire #MRJ schedule from testing to first delivery and will release results of review before end-December.
@winglets747 Early production line A380s (far as efficient as later units) not necessarily indicative of second-hand A380 market.
@winglets747 Emirates upgauged Houston from 777 to A380 in Dec 2014 but will revert back to 777 in Jun 2016. Oil industry downturn changed IAH dynamics.
@winglets747 You can move growth, but there’s only so much point-to-point premium demand you can move with it.
