Tweet Picks:

@e_russell Airbus’ pitch in July was that the A330-800 was customisable, where airlines could lower the MTOW or thrust rating for improved economics.

@e_russell Airbus still sees the A330-800neo as a replacement for remaining 767 fleets – even though it has yet to land another US order to do so.

@ghimlay But Mexico City airport situation is concerning, says Avianca CEO. “The [current] airport is not an airport for a city of that magnitude and relevance.”

@Oliver__Clark EasyJet’s Johnan Lundgren describes Icelandair’s takeover of Wow as ‘not surprising’ #WTM2018.

@staralliance .@tapairportugal is the first #airline in the world to operate the new A330-900neo aircraft. Equipped with the new version of the Airspace cabin, it consumes up to 14% less fuel per seat and is set to be the world’s most #efficient wide-bodied aircraft.
