Tweet Picks:
@e_russell American has also put “certain, older 737s” in long-term storage along with A330-200s, says president Isom. He told analysts two weeks ago that American could park/retire some 42 737-800s. $AAL.
@e_russell Avianca has reached agreements with Wells Fargo on modifying/ending leases for 5 aircraft (4 A320s and 1 787) outside of court, it says in a bankruptcy filing today.
@e_russell “Over the next couple years you may see different restructuring activities occurring but no” major US airline will go out of business, Delta CEO Ed Bastian rebukes Boeing CEO Calhoun.
@e_russell “We want to be cautious to not over analyze and over conclude on this data,” says Delta CFO Jacobson on the slight uptick in demand the airline is seeing. Expects demand to “bounce around a little bit” before full recovery. $DAL
@airkarp Andrew Nocella, @united CCO, speaking on Wolfe webinar: ‘I don’t think this technology [webinars, Zoom, etc.] replaces business travel. I think that’s one of the lessons we’ve learned over the last 8 weeks.’
