Tweet Picks:
@ghimlay .@Avianca says it has been in three-way talks with @United and @CopaAirlines for a potential joint business, but no guarantee it will happen.
@ghimlay Interjet received compensation of almost $40 million for maintenance costs for its Sukhoi Superjet 100 fleet.
@winglets747 “Because of the engine shortage, Boeing has been putting engines on some planes that are otherwise complete just to fly them to Boeing Field and get them out of the way, then taking the engines off and trucking them back to Renton.”
@winglets747 It’s the A380 problem. Low CASK is good only if you can fill the plane without destroying yields.
@winglets747 Malaysia Airlines to codeshare on Qatar Airways to US. Unusual since MH won’t have pax on its own metal for any part of KL-US journey.
Alternative of connections in NRT has been tricky because of JV, and perhaps QR willing to pay good commission.
