@Johnslattery100 Perhaps we can bring the E195E2 to SNN next year, post certification. Congrats on all the great achievements Shannon IASC has delivered in the recent years. SNN will always be my favorite airport!!.

@Johnslattery100 Within the structurally changing environment, I see a new strategic mindset influencing fleet decisions. Aircraft up to 150 seats are forming an ever more integral part of the global air transport eco system. #airline #fleet #crossoverjets #aviationmarket.

@MaxK_J What goes around, comes around: interesting that the #A321neo #A330neo “pincer movement” @Airbus is marketing to try to squeeze NMA’s market op is very similar to a Seattle ad campaign from almost 40 years ago #B757 #B767.

@raisinganchor Now that’s why the UAE is a beautiful nation. Four comeptitive airlines coming together to celebrate its national day. This is a very strong message to the world. No matter what your differences we are united as one nation.

@VernonBaseley @McWhirterAlex Air France looking to close Joon. Pilots’ Union claiming 40M€ for its members.
