Tweets of the day:
@e_russell Air New Zealand flew its last 767 today after 32 years with the carrier.
@jonostrower The 737 Max is increasingly part of the Renton landscape. Filling up the airport grounds. Delivery spigot opens soon.
@jonostrower This is Boeing’s replacement for the 777-300ER, the best selling twin-aisle model of all time. Hard act to follow. #78710FF.
@Rotorfocus You go weeks without a first flight and then three in one day, @AntonovCompany An-132D, @Airbus A319neo and @BoeingAirplanes 787-10.
@winglets747 737 MAX for flydubai gives range boost, bringing more cities into the Dubai hub. Many short-haul markets saturated or bilateral constrained.
