@globalxairlines Looking ahead to the completion of our FAA certification, our team can’t wait to begin offering private charter flights in 2021.
@GuillaumeFaury Airbus welcomes the news that an agreement has been reached between the EU and UK. We are delighted to continue to work with our many stakeholders in the spirit of collaboration and long-term partnership.
@HardeepSPuri It has been decided that flights between India & UK will resume from 8 Jan 2021. Operations till 23 Jan will be restricted to 15 flights per week each for carriers of the two countries to & from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru & Hyderabad only. @DGCAIndia will issue the details shortly.
@jonostrower Emirates’ introduction of premium economy (which they long resisted) is the first demonstrable indictor of how airlines are adapting their hard product for the post-COVID world when business travel returns with tighter purse strings.
@kpottermn .@Delta just signed a contract with Do & Co, the beloved airline catering company behind amazing meals on Turkish Airlines, Austrian Airlines, etc. to handle catering out of Delta’s Detroit (DTW) hub.
