@ByERussell Global domestic air traffic has recovered to 76% of pre-crisis levels in May, but international to just 15%, according to @IATA.
@ByERussell IATA expects the U.S. domestic air traffic to recover to 2019 levels by year-end, following China and Russia that have already recovered.
@ByERussell Worth noting that with United’s 270 plane order and plan to retire 200 50-seat RJs in the next few years, it will need a new concourse at Dulles to handle those planes — the Concourse A regional gates cannot handle larger aircraft.
@lesliejosephs Lack of coordination, uniformity causing confusion over digital health certificates, says @IATA director general Willie Walsh. Proof of vaccination/tests required for intl entry (where available) still can just be flash of piece of a paper.
@LHTechnik LHT goes LH2: Together with project partners @DLR_en, @ZALTechCenter and @HamburgAirport and funded by the city of #Hamburg, we will set up a development and test environment for future #MRO and ground ops on aircraft using liquid #hydrogen (LH2).
