@e_russell Spirit plans to debut a new app soon, something it will use to push to increase the sale of ancillaries to pax. $SAVE.

@e_russell New route for @VirginAtlantic: daily London Heathrow-Tel Aviv with an A330-300 from 25SEP19. Service will be timed to connect with Delta + Virgin’s transatlantic flights via LHR.

@FlightDetect Aer Lingus will be sending their new A321LR to Europe when they get back from crossing the Atlantic. This means international grade sleeper seats on European routes.

@PDChina Handmade Airbus A320! Zhu Yue, a Chinese farmer, has built his own full-size plane with his friends. The plane, a replica of Airbus A320 – measuring 37.8m long, 36m wide and 12m high and costing some $400,000 – has been a tourist hotspot during the #SpringFestival.

@R_Wall Airbus had no new airliner orders in January. Takes 8 Qantas A380s and 5 A220-100s out of the orderbook.
