@Airlineroute Alitalia temporary files 10 Boeing 777-300ER flights on Rome – Sao Paulo Guarulhos route from 15DEC17.
@Airlineroute EVA AIR Cargo’s new Boeing 777 Freighter to enter service on 22NOV17. North American debut in Chicago scheduled on 23NOV17, 3 times a week. Anchorage and Chicago will be the carrier’s initial 777 Freighter destination in the US for winter 2017/18 season.
@ghimlay Avianca and United plan to apply for anti-trust immunity from US regulators, says Avianca CEO.
@jonostrower Boeing seems to have realized this, too. Market forecast for the Middle East went from 45% single-aisles in 2016 to 53% in 2017. That’s a hefty shift.
@jonostrower Big takeaway from #DAS17 and the state of the Middle East? After 15 years of orders, it’s a maturing market and airlines like Emirates are realizing 777X/A380 don’t work everywhere. Smaller jets needed to feed big planes and fill in regional route map.
