@AirFlottau “The bloody runway will take ten years (to build), it will be after our time.” Qatar CEO Al Akbar on Heathrow expansion. #ACTECAPA16.

@airlinewriter Airline investors track PRASM, passenger revenue for every seat flown 1 mile. Here’s the 1-year change in PRASM by region for $AAL $DAL $UAL.
@airlinewriter The drop in PRASM on that chart reflects falling average fares in 2015 and 2016 and, in some cases, a few more empty seats on planes.
@airlinewriter Relax, @SouthwestAir fans: CEO was asked again today if they’ll consider new bag fees. Nope. He said that would be “foolish.” $LUV.
@airlinewriter What makes passengers loyal? Airline trade group IATA says it’s these factors. #travel https://twitter.com/airlinewriter/status/789487765771673600.
@emirates Today we received our 85th @Airbus A380, marking the 250th aircraft in our all wide-body fleet.
