Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell Southwest Airlines is seeing some month-on-month improvements in leisure travel — still negligible business travel — from February to March. Both capacity and revenue trends are forecast to improve in March. $LUV.
@ByERussell Sun Country is betting that listing during the worst crisis ever to hit the airline industry is a good idea for its unique business model.
@jonostrower Left unsaid by @scottiebateman is that these are the last 747s. Production ends in Oct. 2022 with handover of the last 747-8F. When the VC-25Bs are delivered in 2024, they will be the last from Boeing & they may very well be the last 747s flying when they’re retired around 2060.
@jonostrower HUGE: Southwest Airlines is in talks for at least 300 new 150-seat jets for its fleet, as part of a deal that could transform its five-decade old business model and the commercial aircraft industry with it.
@NebOair Superb news! Our @pipistrelEU Velis Electro gets UK Certification of Airworthiness. Making NEBOair the proud owners of the UK’s first certified fully Electric aircraft. The future is exciting & clean! #futureflight #gogreen #sustainableaviation #training.
