@ClodaghLRice On Brexit, Ryanair says: “We remain concerned by the danger of a hard (“no-deal”) Brexit in March 2019 … recent events in the UK political sphere have added to this uncertainty, and we believe that the risk of a hard Brexit is being underestimated.”
@ClodaghLRice Ryanair says fuel prices are substantially higher than this time last year – almost $80/barrel compared to $50/barrel. While it has hedged some of the costs, this increase will see their full year fuel bill increase by at least €430m.
@e_russell Alitalia is out from the expanded Delta-Air France transatlantic joint venture.
@ghimlay Long time coming, but @embraer has finally removed defunct airline Air Costa’s order for 50 E2s from its backlog.
