@AvWeekScho Korean says the main reason behind the deal is to stabilize the Korean aviation industry. Korean also notes the deal will make it one of the world’s top 10 airlines and help it compete better with the “global mega airlines.” And it will enhance Incheon’s status as a major Asian hub.
@AvWeekScho significant step for Indian airlines as domestic capacity cap is raised to 70% of pre-COVID levels (up from 60%).
@ByERussell If Southwest Airlines is successful with its opportunistic growth, “it would be a prime example how some U.S. companies, taking advantage of the carnage around them, can come out of crises stronger.” via @alyrose.
@lufthansaNews Pilot project started: Lufthansa flights #LH2058 Airplane and #LH2059 with 100% negative tested passengers have been successfully completed this morning in cooperation with @MUC_Airport , @HamburgAirport and @Centogene, #WeCare.
@R_Wall Why Southwest Airlines is invading rivals’ turf during the pandemic. “It sounds risky to go open a bunch of new cities, but the alternative is worse.” @alyrose.
