@JP_Biz Stormont debating rail link to Int Airport. Dept of Infra said 2yrs ago not viable unless airport has 10m passengers.
@julianoneill No change in Exec stance re rail link to Belfast Int Airport. Not viable until 10m passengers, which is 13 years away, says @ChrisHazzardSF.
@julianoneill .@ChrisHazzardSF tells MLAs bus link between Belfast Int + citydoing well. 500k passengers a yr. Adds this +road improvements r way forward.
@julianoneill United will not allow @niexecutive montioring of its £9m bail-out. “Madness” says @TrevorLunnLV . “We gave money without proper scrutiny”.
@misterjamieb My take on why CIT/Avolon M&A makes sense @FlightGlobal.
@R_Wall 15h15 Boeing CEO suggests 737 Max 10, if it happens, could enter service in 2019/2020 timeframe. Middle-of-market plane more like 2024/2025 EIS.
