@GulfstreamAero Congratulations to @RollsRoyce for successfully completing the first tests of 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (#SAF) in a business jet engine. Not just any engine — the Pearl 700, created for the all-new, ultralong-range #G700.
@jonostrower Boeing targets 2021 for B737-7 deliveries, 2023 for the -10.
@jonostrower I spoke yesterday with a director at an aerospace company who said their CEO was starting to nudge folks to plan for business travel again in the second half of the year to see customers and suppliers face-to-face. First sign of a thaw.
@jonostrower Now, as Boeing takes its first early steps again toward a new airplane to fend of the A321XLR, its focus is again on this smaller sized-twin. The concept is newly relevant, especially as the future of larger twin-aisle remains squishy at best.
@LondonAirTravel JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes has told Richard Quest on CNN that transatlantic services from London should launch “late summer” in the third quarter of this year.
