Tweet Picks:
@jbarro As the story notes, “focus city” can mean more about frequency and the airline’s effort to develop corporate travel business in a market than about the breadth of routes served.
@jrobinsuk .@lufthansa chief exec Carsten Spohr says “we don’t see a perspective for the a380 in our fleet”, which is further confirmation that they are never coming back.
@jrobinsuk German airline @lufthansa will launch a “common product” with Deutsche Bahn as it looks to reduce its carbon footprint, chief exec says. Replacing some short-haul flights with rail, perhaps.
@MoCA_GoI “The establishment of MRO, financial services, and particularly aircraft leasing is going to provide the cutting edge for transformational change”- HMCA, Sh @HardeepSPuri at the India Aircraft Leasing Summit.
@MoCA_GoI “We have been able to work out an ecosystem where not only the manufacturers but also the operators will be able to take advantage. The MRO in India is coming of age”- HMCA, Sh @HardeepSPuri at the India Aircraft Leasing Summit.
