Tweet Picks:
@e_russell Azul is in “very tough discussions with Airbus on when” it will take its first A330neos. Both TAP and Delta face year-long delivery delays.
@ghimlay .@CopaAirlines CFO says the sale of up to six E190s will deliver an annual benefit of $10 million. The move will lead to “higher long-term efficiencies and structurally lower unit costs leading to higher profit”, says CEO.
@ghimlay .@CopaAirlines’ low-cost affiliate @wingo is finally growing – by just a bit. It will upgauge its four 737-700s to 737-800s in 2019, and Copa will transfer another 738, likely to be based in Panama Pacifico, says CEO @PedroHeilbron.
@ghimlay .@jetblue received a handful of slots at MEX from DL-AM divestiture, but CEO says it’s an “ongoing struggle” to make them work in an environment dominated by the two airlines
@ghimlay .@CopaAirlines CEO thinks late 2020 will be the earliest timeframe when a three-way JV with @Avianca and @united could go into effect, expects 1.5 years for regulatory approvals from various countries. (Airlines have not firmed up a joint venture deal yet among themselves)
