Tweet Picks:
@AeronewsRO D-AIXI, @lufthansa’s 9th @Airbus A350-900, is said to be the first #LHA350 to feature the new livery. Tail covered in white plastic seems to confirm that.
@AlexInAir CEO of @RoyalJordanian: “I strongly believe in market consolidation here in the #MiddleEast. There are just too many aircraft, too much overcapacity”.
@atterseeluftfah IAG CEO Willie Walsh told me last Friday, “with the new @airbus #A380 order from @emirates, the issue regarding additional A380s is looking better for us. Now the topic for us is pricing”.
@BrianSumers United sent facts on fuel savings per year. -Inflight mag now printed on paper that is 1 ounce lighter, saving $290K. -Duty free is gone, saving 1.4m fuel gallons. -Reduced orange juice & soda cans on some flights, and uses fewer wine arcs. Total catering changes save $673K+.
@e_russell Silver Airways to lease 20 ATR 42- and 72-600s from lessor NAC. 15 of these are included in the LOI Silver signed in August.
