@BrianSumers A Wall Street analyst is on a mission to get airlines to spin-off their loyalty programs. Financially, that makes sense. But is it prudent to run an ailrine if you don’t own frequent flyer data?.
@e_russell “We believe it is unlikely that Delta places an order with Boeing… likely targeting A320neo family aircraft,” writes Cowen. Announcement expected this Thursday.
@HeliOperations #HeliOperations is delighted to announce that the Family of Dara Fitzpatrick have supported the naming of our new helicopter #ZA166 as “Dara” – #HeliOps has a long working relationship supporting #IrishCoastguard and many of our crews worked with Capt Dara Fitzpatrick.
@McWhirterAlex As predicted in our Nov @BTUK feature, hand luggage fares are coming to the transatlantic. Must only be a matter of time before AA/BA follow.
@winglets747 As Delta and WestJet form a US-Canada JV, interesting to reflect on American Airlines and oneworld, which lost their members in Canada (Canadian Airlines) and Mexico (Mexicana).
