@e_russell Alaska’s plan to join the Oneworld alliance has probably “accelerated…a little bit” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, says CEO Tilden. $ALK.
@winglets747 Emirates went for A380s and 777s. Qatar added smaller A350s and 787s. Qatar: “They’re the ideal aircraft to start to develop a network where you can generate cash.” That’s better “than flying around the world with half-empty A380s.”
@winglets747 Emirates’ Tim Clark: “I’m hoping by April 2022, all our A380s will be flying again.”
@winglets747 Usual anti-travel rhetoric but with an “economic leakage” argument – you shouldn’t spend your money overseas. Travel bubbles aren’t meant to consolidate traffic to neighbouring countries. They’re designed to unite countries with low risk, hence Aus/NZ exploring Asia tie-up.
