@Airwaysfoodie Btw, there are at present actually 2 VLM airlines. There’s VLM based in Antwerp, which has now stopped flying. But there’s also a separate VLM in Brussels, which took over part of the former Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium. That one is still flying.
@McWhirterAlex .@EtihadAirways has jumped on the HBO bandwagon. It needs the cash. Expect @emirates @qatarairways to follow (for now they will keep quiet).
@McWhirterAlex One subject worthy of consideration is how main airports can gain valuable slots by encouraging more short distance pax to arrive by surface. I’m thinking of @Schiphol and @KLM (EU ordered KL to provide a slot to @Fly_Norwegian for AMS-JFK such is the shortage.
@BernieBaldwin So that’s chief operating officer, chief strategy officer and now director of comms @simonjmcnamara announcing departures from @flybe within the past 2 months.
@photoJDL Two aircraft celebrate first flight anniversaries today! The Beech 1900D commuter prop turns 36, while the stocky 4-engined widebody jet, the BAe146, turns 37. #avgeek #aviation.
