Tweet Picks:

@Airlineroute AIRFRANCE A350-900XWB to serve Toronto from 25NOV19.

@SeanM1997 Cardiff Airport calls for Air Passenger Duty (APD) to be devolved to the Welsh Assembly, similar to what is in place in Scotland. However, as the airport is owned by the Welsh Government & 2 weeks ago they called for a Climate Emergency – I sense hypocrisy.

@SeanM1997 Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) will lose Flybe routes to Alicante, Dublin, Faro, Jersey, Malaga, Newquay, Palma and Paris CDG from 26 October 2019. Flybe only routes to DSA will be to Amsterdam (daily) and Belfast City (4x weekly) this Winter.

@SeanM1997 In Winter 2019, Norwegian will reduce its London Gatwick to USA routes. In Summer 2019, the airline flew to 12 US destinations. In Winter 2019, it will fly to just 7. Austin, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and Seattle are not shown for Winter 2019 as yet.

@SeanM1997 Southampton (SOU) will lose Flybe routes to Aberdeen, Alicante, Avignon, Bastia, Malaga, Nantes and Palma from 26 October 2019.

@TomRisen Pilots and management are optimistic Onex purchase of Canada’s second largest airline (including debt) gives @WestJet the chance to focus on growing into a global carrier.
