@AirlineFlyer Airplane connectivity is expensive. Really really expensive. @LH_Systems thinks it has the next generation of low cost connectivity. The passive antenna goes in a window unit and gives up to 350 kbps via @IridiumComm Next, ideal for messaging and SMS. #APEXexpo #PaxEx.
@e_russell United has “to weigh all factors when we consider where to grow, and if this excessive and discriminatory tax scheme becomes law, it’s my profound concern that increasing costs could stunt United’s future investments at Newark and, in turn, New Jersey.”
@eurocontrolDG August continued to see more flights delayed for longer – over 6% of flights were delayed for more than 1 hour on arrival. More detail in @eurocontrol August report on All-Causes Delay to Air Transport in Europe out soon.
@Jamie_Freed Malaysia Airlines’ 787 deal with Boeing signed during Najib’s US visit last year lapses, considering future widebody purchases.
@rascottdotcom After three years of meetings, and plenty of lobbying from all sides, Mexican authorities changed their approval for DXB-BCN-MEX from daily to 3x weekly flights. Emirates says no thank you.
