@AirFlottau “Our profitability would probably be higher with less than five hubs, at least in the short term.” Lufthansa Group CEO Carsten Spohr.
@Lebeaucarnews NEW: @TSA says it found a record 2,653 firearms in carry-on bags in 2015. That’s 20% higher than previous record set in 2014.
@Mark_J_Henry CEOs of @TourismIreland and @NITouristBoard are presenting to @CommonsNIAC committee on the impact of the UK tax regime on tourism to NI.
