@e_russell Chatting with a friend who flew on a full AA flight yesterday. Even with full middle seats, he felt it was safe. This is how it has to be: airlines need to be able to sell all seats to recover. Other measures do more to protect from COVID-19.
@HertsRoyal With potentially as many as 120 new aircraft to be built this year, feels likely that Boeing could end the year with even more Max in stock than they have today. As @MaxK_J says, interesting dynamic in 2020’s demand environment.
@jetcitystar The Bombardier Commercial Aircraft @BBD_Aircraft has ceased to exist. It has been rebranded as @MHI_RJ . Mitsubishi Heavy Industries @MHI_Group completed its acquisition of the @Bombardier CRJ Regional Jet program today June 1, 2020.
@hjelnaes The Norwegian Government acted fast to set up a number of temporary PSO routes to secure a functioning airline transport infra-structure during the Covid-19 crisis. This enabled SAS, Norwegian and Wideroe to keep flying a limited network on domestic route…
@MaxK_J Boeing restarting Max production, with 31/month planned from next year. That rate, plus delivering the c400 Max in the car parks etc, will create some interesting dynamics in the used market.
