@Airlineroute There is unlikely to be a trend of US regional airlines being swallowed by legacy carriers in the coming years, Routes Americas 2020 delegates in Indianapolis heard.
@Johnslattery100 Pre-owned E1s are proving to be excellent liquid assets.
@azulinhasaereas just announced it is leasing 53 of its E195s to LOT and Breeze Aviation (USA). #E195 #195E2.
@winglets747 In 2018 Dr Peters predicted parts revenue of around $70 million from each A380. At the end of 2019, however, each scrapped A380 had generated only $19 million, with the prices of parts awaiting sale only likely to fall.
@zlwichter United Airlines has bought a flight school, making it the first carrier in the U.S. to bring early pilot training in-house.
