Willie Walsh’s top 3 challenges for the travel industry in the next decade
Tweet Picks:
@BoeingAirplanes #OTD in 1994, the world watched as our #Boeing 777 took to the skies for the first time. The 777 is going strong today and is still loved by airlines and passengers alike. We look forward to seeing the #777X take off from the same runway in Everett, WA in 2019. #avgeek.
@CorkAirport is thrilled to congratulate our very own @kevin_cullinane on winning the Unsung Hero Award for Airports under 3 million @AirportsExpo @olympia_london this evening. #BIAEXPO2018.
@juliejohnsson Rolls-Royce faces a turbine blade shortage as it prepares to repair or retrofit nearly 550 engines for the @Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
@SteveDunne 51% of all travel search and booking undertaken on mobile according to David Trunkfield @PwC_UK #GTMCConf18.
@SteveDunne The top three challenges for travel in next ten years: Technology, air traffic control infrastructure in Europe and changing consumer behaviour & demands says Willie Walsh #GTMCConf18.
