@KianiKress In the orderly Q of record year Airlines @wizzair with +24pc Pax still >14pc Martin after tax – and now former @Airbus US head Barry Ecclestone und in the board to cheer up former colleagues negotiations for fleet expansion.
@KianiKress German #airports traffic slightly up Jan -April – but german domestic still down 3% on @airberlin bankruptcy.
