Tweet Picks:
@ChinaAvReview Air New Zealand all-black 787 arrived Shanghai as a cargo-only plane. The flight, resumed after two months suspension, carried local products such as sea food to Shanghai. This airlink will help NZ’s export business and local farmers greatly.
@e_russell Porter Airlines has secured C$135m in funds to help bridge the coronavirus crisis.
@jonostrower While the goal of the bailout was to protect employment, wages and benefits, the structure creates short-term incentives to continue flying their airplanes nearly empty, only further accelerating the cash burn each needs to survive. #staycurrent.
@SAS A different shade of blue – but the same heart, ambition and dedication. Today, this group from our cabin crew had their first day of training at Sophiahemmet in Stockholm – learning from the best how to take care of patients to relieve the hard-working heroes in healthcare.
@winglets747 Greetings from Asia. Outbreak started earlier here, and we contained it earlier. People were ready to resume travel, but imported cases grew and restrictions went up. Underlying traveller confidence is high.
