@AirlineFlyer The Lufthansa Group says that a total of 80 aircraft will be reactivated in its June schedule, serving 106 destinations with 160 aircraft. This is in response to “growing interest of customers for air travel.”
@e_russell I’m definitely seeing an uptick in UA and WN passengers, based solely on how much busier DEN has become over the past week.
@HardeepSPuri Preparations to restart civil aviation operations are in place. As soon as a decision is taken in this regard we will be able to take off immediately. We also foresee changes in the way people travelled thus far. A calibrated reopening can happen after the lockdown. @MoCA_GoI.
@JournoDannyAero A total of 160 aircraft flying to 106 destinations:@Lufthansa Group starts scaling back up slowly (approx 25% of aircraft).
@jonostrower NEWS: Southwest in a regulatory filing said it has completed a sale leaseback deal for 10 737-800s and 10 737 Max 8s worth $815 million, averaging $40.75m per plane.
