@AeronewsGlobal By the end of this month, @airfrance will send 3 of its 9 @Airbus A380s to Tarbes for storage at @TarmacAerosave . F-HPJC will arrive from Abu Dhabi, after maintenance work, while F-HPJA and F-HPJE will arrive from Paris CDG (info via @zeTravelersClub).
@e_russell American Airlines may be able to begin operations out of the new concourse at @Reagan_Airport early in January 2021 (that means no more 35X). #DCA.
@e_russell Southwest Airlines, the once scrappy Texas discounter, was for a brief moment in April the world’s largest airline, via @zlwichter.
@ethanklapper DOT has responded to CARES Act exemptions for Spirit and JetBlue, and both carriers got very few of the service obligations granted.
@myirishcousin I think we might be surprised by how soon measures are put in place for people to fly. My inbox tells me people will travel to Ireland once we re happy to let them in. We ll be a preferred destination due to how we’ve handled the situation.
