Tweet Picks:
@airkarp American Airlines to operate seasonal, summer service from Philadelphia to Budapest & Prague using 767-300s starting May 4, 2018.
@airkarp US airlines’ expenses grew at more than twice the rate of revenue in 1H 2017, leading to decline in pre-tax profits.
@e_russell More JetBlue service to one of its first destinations, @SyracuseAirport: once daily SYR-BOS on an E190 from 4Jan18.
@e_russell “There does seem to be an opportunity and fit for an aircraft with around 100 seats,” says United VP of flight ops.
@jonostrower “46% of A320neo jets powered by the GTF were out of service for at least one week in the past month.”
