@airlineroute AeroMexico and WestJet has announced codeshare partnership, previously reported on Airline Route on 22DEC15.
@e_russell .@united is nearing an order for 737-700s, reports @JLDastin. Would be a blow for #CSeries.
@e_russell “@United is refining its boarding algorithm and plans to roll it out later this year.” Woot! #paxex.
@ghimlay JP Morgan has initiated coverage of @SpiritAirlines and @VirginAmerica, rated overweight and underweight respectively.
@LeehamNews Market Intel: one or two good-sized “legacy” airline orders for #CSeries this year.
@winglets747 A reminder to all $1.5b Powerball ticket holders: the best way to be a millionaire is to start with a billion and then launch an airline.
