@Airlineroute British Airways has opened reservation on A350-900XWB operating service (IBERIA aircraft) on London Heathrow – Madrid sector as BA522 from 20JUL18 to 03AUG18 and from 23AUG18 to 31AUG18 (Madrid departure under IB3166).
@AirportWatch At £22 per passenger, Heathrow’s landing charge is already the highest in Europe. Willie Walsh, CEO of IAG, owner of British Airways, Heathrow’s biggest airline, has said he believes it is “only a matter of time before we start hearing excuses for massive cost escalation”.
@jonostrower Here at #FIA18, @BoeingCEO says: “Aerospace thrives on global, trade. Free and global trade. We haven’t seen any actions that have had a material effect on our business.”
@jonostrower “797 is a convenient terminology, but we haven’t launched the airplane yet,” said @BoeingCEO on NMA. “We want a 2025 airplane,” says Kevin McAllister, Boeing Commercial CEO. #FIA18.
@Michaelkelly707 Apparently, this morning @HainanAirlines flight from Beijing to @DublinAirport arrived at 0435L and did not get on stand till 0635L. I doubt if a second runway will alleviate these issues #avgeek.
