@AvWeekScho Cathay Pacific is due to receive a new aircraft per month for the next four years, says CEO Rupert Hogg #IATAAGM.
@e_russell American will see $2bn in higher fuel expenses in 2018, says CEO Parker. Airline assume $75/barrel Brent crude prices going forward.
@e_russell Interesting – American’s desire to add Aer Lingus to its transatlantic JV with British Airways is facing questions around adding a low-fare carrier to the partnership, says EVP corporate affairs Johnson.
@e_russell “[We’re] making sure that we actually want to take airplanes in those times and we’ve come to the conclusion that we don’t,” says @AmericanAir CEO Parker on its decision to defer 22 A321neos.
