@Airlineroute Norwegian to offer Copenhagen – Amman service, 2 weekly from 08MAY18. Service operated by Norwegian Air International 737-800.

@ben_ireland_11 Craig Kreeger of @VirginAtlantic says BA rushed out their Basic fares after they got wind of his company’s plans for three separate economy options.

@McWhirterAlex The reason why SAA is axing x1 of its x2 daily services into LHR. It will also gain much needed revenue by leasing its vacant @HeathrowAirport slot. But its x1 A330-300 is no match for BA’s x2 daily A380/B747 service.
