@aviator_aero Republic Airways is exploring an IPO by 3Q 2021.
@David_Slotnick United expects to generate positive pretax income in July for the first time since January 2020, the airline says in an SEC filing. (Deleted an earlier tweet which said “profit” instead of pretax income).
@FlyingHighRyan At 10,061 miles, Qantas is operating a rather long and rare one-off flight between Australia and the Caribbean.
@SeanM1997 Flybe have acquired 86 weekly slots at London Heathrow from British Airways – these are listed for a Dash-8 (78 seat) aircraft with Edinburgh listed with 50x weekly (5x daily) and Aberdeen listed with 36x weekly (3x daily flights).
