@campaignforleo My final meeting in Africa was with CEO of @flyethiopian Atto Tewolde to discuss further opportunities at Dublin and Shannon.

@EndaCorneille Seven years ago today @emirates began the enormous success story that is our Irish operation #emirates #avgeeks #avgeeksaero.

@EoghanOMW “Word on the breeze is that Willie Walsh, who now runs IAG, is set to receive a special recognition award. Proper order, too. Few Irish corporate executives over the years have risen to the top of their field globally as Walsh has in aviation” says @MarkPaulTimes in Irish Times.

@EmeraldMedia Not the first time #virginatlantic has been involved in regional aviation. Back in 94 @cityjet started with a Virgin franchise & colours on their BAe146 @LondonCityAir. Shame @flybe brand is going. City pressures hurt it in the end.

@sandeeprrao1991 @BLRAirport officially enters the 30 million passengers (annually) league. The airport also handled more than 3 million pax in a single month in DEC 2018, for the 1st time since ops started in 2008 #avgeek #BLR #India #aviation.
