@justinbachman “I could call this airline crap and people will love it because of the way I’m going to treat them,” Azul/JetBlue founder David Neeleman says of his newest venture. Crap Airlines! Crap Airways? Or just Crap?.
@simonasbartkus Yesterday, winter season kicked in. Vilnius Airport got @wizzair base reduce with 1 a/c removed and routes to Nice, Warsaw, Reykjavik, Athens, Bari, Rome suspended; New route: Lviv. @Ryanair new routes to Amman, Kiev KBP, Treviso.
@WandrMe Yes, @SouthwestAir has significant and growing contracts with the #GDS platforms. No, you cannot book using them as a general consumer. But biz travel bookings are significant and this deal with @Travelport grows those opportunities. #AvGeek #Distribution #PaxEx.
