@aerodoyle Airbus and Boeing had by 5th August collectively accumulated a backlog of more than 120 passenger jets that had their first flights more than 60 days ago but are yet to be delivered to customers (excluding the grounded 737 Max).
@AirCanada “Today the airline [Air Canada] is looking to the future and planning a gradual rebuild,” said Frederick Larkin. “It’s a slow deliberate process that is subject to constant change as the global pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the aviation industry.”
@AviationSafety A Thai Boeing 747-400 descended to 282 feet during a night-time final approach to Tokyo Airport in 2018 because the pilots were concentrating on the lateral flight path, not noticing their dangerous descent, according to a newly published JTSB report.
@embraer Some good news from Japan. J-Air will restore 90% of its flight schedule in August. The @JAL_Official_jp subsidiary flies 32 #Embraer #E170 and #E190 jets. #ForADifferentWorld.
@gary_kelly Our fun-loving Culture is certainly at the center of everything we do, and it has never been more vital than it is now. Hear from Whitney Eichinger, our Managing Director of Culture & Engagement, about how our Culture helps us tackle a global #pandemic. #SouthwestHeartStrong.
