@Airlineroute India’s IndiGo has revealed two new daily nonstop routes it plans to launch this year. The first to launch will be a flight between Bengaluru and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, starting March 29.
@AlexInAir Qatar Airways will fly a convoy of 8 cargo aircraft, with a 4 minute spacing between each flight, to Beijing, Guangzhou & Shanghai on Friday – carrying medical supply donations from around the world. #China.
@crankyflier Dear @cathaypacific please stop zeroing out flights in the GDS and cancel them outright. It makes it really difficult to help impacted customers when you won’t officially confirm the flights are cancelled.
@e_russell Delta expects just one – one – of its 16 scheduled A321neo deliveries this year.
@sidyoutwit With the 737 Max grounded, Airbus could be gaining an even greater advantage over Boeing if it could build its planes faster.
