Tweet Picks:
@AsteroidDay #Luxembourg has established itself as a European centre for space that aims to build a space economy.
@ChinaAvReview Today is a big day COMAC. The company is delivering 3 ARJ21 to the Big 3 airlines in China. 35 ARJ21 has been delivered so far. COMAC expects to assemble 30 more ARJ21 this year.
@SuhelAKhanIFS #VandeBharatMission An Indian Carrier in Lebanon- First time in 40 years! What a majestic sight! Happy to help 174 Indians & 25 Lebanese to be back at their homes, united with their families. 45 Indian soldiers will also assume their duties @UNIFIL_ @SecySanjay @MEAIndia.
@TheForwardCabin Super interesting: When @AmericanAir offers the option for passengers to switch flights because their original flight is full, only about 6% of people take them up on the offer to switch to another flight.
@winglets747 American Airlines is bringing capacity back faster than Delta and United. “Big hubs win,” Doug Parker argues. Two-thirds of its July seats depart from/arrive at Dallas/Charlotte, per OAG. Only 36% of American’s capacity won’t touch either of the two hubs.
