@AirlineFlyer What’s this? An international airline adding a new US city? Interesting! @airfrance to add @DENAirport to its route map with 3x weekly flights on a 787-9 starting July 2. AF says this is the first time a SkyTeam airline has connected Europe to Denver.
@Iceland_Review Established nearly two years ago, Play has yet to operate any flights and does not yet hold an air operator’s certificate.
@JBogaisky Delta’s revenue per available seat mile fell a staggering 46% to just 9 cents in the first quarter. More low-fare leisure travellers this summer aren’t going to boost that metric enough, writes @RazorbackDan via @forbes.
@JohnLStrickland #BritishAirways CEO Sean Doyle sees @Airbus #A380 having a key place in fleet/network once the pandemic is over Good to hear, BA’s are really young aircraft #airlines #CAPALive.
@lesliejosephs Delta president says later part of the year the airline will have a better opp to manage yields. read: higher fares coming if biz travel returns. Background on how rock-bottom fares are already harder to find.
