Tweet Picks:
@bernardlavelle #AOAConf17 Walsh. Ave price for LHR is £21 for LGW it’s £7. Why would I pay more? I would just move my business.
@bernardlavelle #AOAConf17 Walsh. O’Leary is making noise as he doesn’t want to set up a UK AOC as he wants to keep his model simple I admire I’m for that.
@bernardlavelle #AOAConf17 Walsh. IAG restructuring helped us to get strong. Alitalia and Air Berlin didn’t restructure and paid the consequences.
@bernardlavelle #AOAConf17 Walsh. Level doing extremely well. We would look at the UK for level but there are other opportunities in Europe first.
@Oliver__Clark Alitalia is not an airline that anyone is interested in buying IAG’s Willie Walsh says #AOAConf17.
