@Airlineroute Wamos Air 747-400 to operate for LATAM Chile’s Santiago de Chile – Los Angeles route until 05JUL18 inclusive. Aircraft code 744 is listed for the month of June 2018, while May/July dates sees 787-9 with remark “operated by WAMOS”.
@ghimlay .@JetBlue CFO says airline will “definitely” make a decision this year on future of E190 fleet, in “mature” stage of analysis.
@hharteveldt Wowza! @Ryanair discloses ancillary product sales info in its FY2018 report. 50% of pax pay for allocated seats, 20% for priority boarding. Hope this starts a trend – investors will benefit.
@JennaGHarvey Inspiring humanity is all about making the airline experience more personal, helpful, and simple. -Frankie Littleford @JetBlue #CCExpo #ICMI.
@winglets747 IAG couldn’t use all of its new Gatwick slots, so rather than lose them it leased one daily pair to Qatar Airways and another daily pair to be “babysat” by Thomas Cook.
