@GovMalloyOffice We created the #CTAirportAuthority to free @Bradley_Airport from bureaucracy that hamstrung it in the past & bring a renewed focus to make it more attractive to new routes, airlines & ways to increase our economic viability – now those efforts are being internationally recognized.
@LARA_editor Long-haul low-cost – sustainability of the model still unclear after @primeraair collapse, @wow_air bond issue, & @Fly_Norwegian still apparently a takeover target, says @JohnLStrickland #era18 @eraaorg . Are there enough viable secondary markets?.
@LARA_editor The proposed collaboration between @cityjet & @AirNostrumLAM focused on European ACMI market could be a real game changer & step change for regional aviation, says @JohnLStrickland #era18 @eraaorg.
@LARA_editor 66% rise in European ACMI flights in last 5 years, says @BBD_Aircraft @RyanDebrusk #era18 . Over 8000 flights this year. 8% rise in market share of Europe’s regional market to 22% in 2018 from 2014. Average CRJ Series age in ACMI sector is 6yrs compared to 12yrs for the rest.
@SatuDahl_ERA “EU261 is the biggest threat to aviation industry” says Michael Weinstein @TusAirways at the @eraaorg General Assembly CEO debate #era18.
