Tweet Picks:
@AeronewsGlobal According to our sources, flydubai will wet-lease 4 Airbus A320s from FLY ONE (Republic of Moldova) for 12 months. Two will arrive in April and the remaining two in May.
@e_russell Breeze Airways plans to start flights in the Eastern U.S., serving “secondary leisure markets” that are both affordable to budget travellers and have a high number of secondary homes.
@flightradar24 Thanks to a strong, well-positioned jet stream, a @British_Airways 747 managed a new New York-London subsonic speed record today, making the journey in 4 hours 56 minutes—17 minutes faster than the previous record.
@rschuur_aero Grounding of the @BoeingAirplanes MAX cost @Icelandair 27% capacity last year. Yet, by leasing additional aircraft, total pax numbers were +25%. 3 737-800’s leased and 24 757’s kept longer this year to cover MAX-gap.
@rschuur_aero . @Icelandair expects to conclude fleet review in the next months, suspended over MAX grounding. It counts on delivery of 3
@BoeingAirplanes MAX later this year and more later to bring fleet to 10. Rolling contingency plans for 12-18 months ready to mitigate further delays.
