@flightradar24 In case you missed it earlier today, @SingaporeAir announced the relaunch of @ChangiAirport – @EWRairport service later this year using the @Airbus A350ULR. The flight will cover 9500 mi (15,000 km) and last about 19 hours, or approximately 13 times through the movie ‘Airplane!’.
@niallokeeffe While traditional low-costs play football, Volotea is playing petanque, chief Carlos Munoz tells @Oliver__Clark. Or, to put it another, Volotea is classical music to Vueling’s rock’n’roll.
@PauloSergioMDC This is fascinating. A time-lapse of an @Emirates @Airbus #A380 “flying” inside a hangar in Dubai, while engineers change the entire landing gear – 22 wheels, 18 brakes and 5 shock struts (the legs), in just 14 days.
@PITairport We are pleased to announce the region’s first nonstop air link with China! China Eastern Airlines will conduct nonstop seasonal charter services connecting Pittsburgh and Shanghai, China commencing on August 3!.
