Tweet Picks:
@AvWeekScho Air NZ says domestic capacity now at 90% of pre-COVID levels, and trans-Tasman at 70%. But no “meaningful recovery” expected for long-haul in FY22 (begins July 1), despite potential for long-haul markets to start opening progressively in 2nd half of FY22.
@AvWeekScho Cathay Pacific intends to be operating 30% of its pre-COVID passenger capacity by the fourth quarter of 2021. That is a fairly ambitious target given that it was only operating 3.5% in May.
@AvWeekScho Qantas Group is pulling in more aircraft to boost surging Australian domestic ops… adding four more E190s under Alliance Air agreement (to total of 18), while Jetstar is borrowing three A320s from Singapore-based Jetstar Asia (with six already on loan from Jetstar Japan).
@ByERussell “A 60-plus percent success rate — that seems a pretty reasonable success rate to me,” says @AilevonPacific’s Brad DiFiore of JetBlue’s pandemic routes. At least 23 are going away in the next few months.
