@CamWallace_NZ Observing some strong @FlyAirNZ demand signals over July, especially into ZQN which has lead to a number of flight upguages – A320/321. Our pricing systems are back operating which will mean a better spread of fares. @andykirton.
@embraer We set a new #EJET distance record! #1,600, an #E190E2 for @helvetic_en , just landed in Zürich after flying 9h 10m (7,488km/4,043nm) nonstop from Natal. #WeAreEmbraer #EmbraerStories.
@Flighteditor Deal between IAI and Abu Dhabi company to partner on technology to combat Covid is another sign of realignment in Middle East and softening of relations with Gulf states, which, remember, do not recognise Israel as a sovereign state.
