@AirlineFlyer Hi initially the B737-MAX will not have WIFI, however there are plans to have it installed (we don’t have a date on that yet).
@AirFlottau IAG’s Walsh says rumours about Bombardier CSeries order are “wild” and “inaccurate”.
@Frank_vanBebber .@Ryanair: Summer flights will be profitable from day 1 from @Airport_FRA, in winter there will be start-up losses.
@Frank_vanBebber .@Ryanair Supremo O’Leary: we want no new building at the @Airport_FRA, because new buildings are expensive. Want but fast service.
@Frank_vanBebber .@Ryanair Supremo O’Leary: 10-20 imagined us long-term machines of the @Airport_FRA, up to 8-10 million pass/year. But no domestic flights.
@vl_bryan @Ryanair CEO on @Airport_FRA logistics. “They may have some spare gates that are less convenient for customers.” #PaxEx.
