@justinbachman NEWS: @United and Boeing have been studying the movement of simulated virus particles aboard the $UAL fleet to gather data on transmission risks, spurred by the DOD’s need to safely transport US troops.
@JuneyaoE With the success control of the pandemic domestically, Juneyao Air has operated more that 17,000 flights for the past two-month summer vacation – reaching 90% of the capacity comparing to last year. Over 2.5M passengers have travelled to various domestic destinations on Juneyao.
@ReutersBiz Southwest Airlines said it temporarily grounded 130 Boeing 737-800 aircraft after it discovered discrepancies in aircraft weight data.
@TheAviationBeat Not your typical delivery flights for these Delta A350s. With a 15% tariff on Euro assembled Airbus aircraft, Delta will “base” these aircraft outside of the United States until a later date to avoid tariffs.
