Tweet Picks:

@airlinewriter An extreme example of geopolitics affecting an airline’s fortunes: @qatarairways posts a $69 million loss for its latest fiscal year.

@airlinewriter CEO says @HawaiianAir won’t charge much more for BOS-HNL nonstops than competitors charge for 1-stops because it’s not a business-travel, expense-account route.

@HofmannAviation Meeting with @easyJet Europe MD Thomas Haagensen, talking about one year AOC in Vienna. So far 113 aircraft are OE-registered. 25 more next year. After that, even more aircraft could be registered in Vienna.

@rschuur_aero . @SingaporeAir @Airbus A350-900ULR SGA completes her delivery flight from Toulouse in 16h24min, taking the polar route. Her longest flight to date, but some 4 hours short of her maximum range.

@winglets747 Huge interest in Emirates-Etihad merger talk underscores how well Etihad did marketing, making itself seem far larger than it really is.
