Tweet Picks:
@AvWeekScho ANA says the decision to switch to GE engines on new 787 order is because as this fleet grows, it wants to “diversify some of the components to minimize single source risks.” Makes sense, but I wonder if the same decision gets made if Rolls-Royce engines had been less problematic.
@aviator_aero Volaris: “We are a ultra-low-cost carrier that competes with buses even more than we compete with airlines.” Know your competition.
@decfryan Sky’s growth in Peru is financially nuts but they are also suffering losses also in Chile!.
@e_russell “The 16 additional gates will help us keep growing and maintain Denver as one the busiest and fastest growing airports in the country,” said Southwest managing director of airport affairs Steve Sisneros.
@wwaycorrigan “Some decisions at Avianca would take forever. It was too much of a democracy.” Avianca CEO Anko van der Werff Anko van der Werff speaks to #TheColombiaCast podcast about his whirlwind first six months.
