Tweet Picks:
@e_russell Long-time Boeing customer Ryanair is making a foray into Airbus metal with its Laudamotion stake. Sounds similar to Alaska/Virgin America if you ask me.
@JohnLStrickland Applying @Ryanair know how to #Laudamotion will really give the #airline teeth.
@JohnLStrickland This really changes the dynamics: @Ryanair to take minority stake in #Laudamotion rising to 75% as soon as possible.
@R_Wall Stobart Group says it does NOT plan to bid for Flybe after negotiations over price failed to bring about deal.
@SiCarswell Freedom of Information Act in operation: Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary expressed concerns about #Brexit to the Taoiseach but Department of Taoiseach does not want to say what they are. Refused release on grounds of “deliberative process” and “international relations” – @IrishTimes.
