Tweet Picks:
@AusBT Exit the Dragon: Cathay Pacific is expected to drop its Cathay Dragon brand and take over the regional airline’s routes, fleet and staff (similar to what Singapore Airlines is doing with SIlkAir).
@CamWallace Replying to @Jamie_Freed Fare structures per market are sensitive to the customer segments who fly. The Tasman market is primarily leisure travel in both directions and therefore it’s appropriate to have a twin brand strategy or an unbundled approach.
@TheAviationBeat Delta appears to be taking delivery of five (!) Airbus A220s this week including their first two A220-300s. Airbus clearing inventory.
@WandrMe Air Canada launches all-premium Jetz flights for winter leisure travel.
@WandrMe Next up for Eastern: Santo Domingo! The carrier applied to the FAA for rights to operate from JFK and PHL to SDQ this winter. The JFK flight times are brutal, but the company is not being shy about planning for a rebound in traffic as the weather turns colder.
