@e_russell ICYMI: United’s 767 and 757 replacement “will be a multi-faceted solution”.
@ghimlay Bahamasair to acquire 737-700 from AerCap. Aircraft was previously operated by Lucky Air and Alaska, according to @FlightGlobal data.
@jmhdinger Canadian startup airline @jetlines drops plan to launch flights with @boeing 737s, instead ordering two used @airbus A320s. But a 737 Max order remains on the books.
@LAflyr Well there it is. The new @united PremiumPlus economy seat. Sales begin late June, though initially customers will be serviced as EconomyPlus until enough aircraft are converted. Initially on 772 then 77Ws. #united #premiumeconomy #B777.
@WandrMe Fixed air taxes crush Caribbean aviation: “When you put $130 in taxes on a $1000 ticket in from London it is only 10% of the fare. When you put $130 on a $80 ticket from Florida you’re an idiot.” – Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, Principal Partner, Bedford Baker Group #Caribavia.
