@krisvancleave 900 @boeing 787 Dreamliners may require inspections after an issue in the manufacturing process of the horizontal stabilizer was identified where components were clamped together with greater force than specified which could result in premature aging. FAA is investigating.
@LondonAirTravel Interesting story about Aer Lingus possibly deploying Airbus A321LR aircraft on transatlantic routes from UK regional airports, something Alex Cruz had mooted for BA. Depending on what happens after the Brexit transition period, Aer Lingus may need a UK AOC to operate these.
@LondonAirTravel The bmi Heathrow remedy slots that Flybe returned to British Airways have been re-advertised. Interestingly, applications are warned these are subject to a legal dispute and may not be ultimately available.
@SeanM1997 Loganair are updating their booking system as they are putting Summer 2021 on sale – including seasonal routes to Bergen, Jersey & Newquay among others. Many domestic routes also see an increase in frequency such as Aberdeen-Manchester & Edinburgh-Southampton among others.
