Tweet Picks:
@Airlineroute Hong Kong Airlines’ new nonstop Vancouver service generates CAD25.2 million of annual GDP for BC, as well as creating 445 new jobs.
@evanblecher Because of JVs, transatlantic is really just three airlines, so a distinct lack of competition for Norwegian to exploit.
@hharteveldt About all those people who said they’d boycott @united after UA3411…the #airline flew 2.6% more rev. pax. miles in May 2017 vs. ’16.
@KianiKress So long cost long haul mainly works transatlantic, for now.
@winglets747 China Airlines reportedly lost US$10 million on New York route (only 5x weekly) in first four months of the year.
