Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell “We are also … creating upside flexibility to accelerate our capacity restoration in 2022 and beyond in a capital-disciplined manner,” says Delta CEO Ed Bastian. Notable comment considering how he long maintained a 3 year recovery timeline, or until 2023, for Delta. $DAL
@ByERussell “When you switch to electric, it suddenly becomes very viable to fly short routes,” says @heartaerospace CEO Anders Forslund says on the @BBCNewshour. Speaking economics, he says an electric engine is much simpler and cheaper to operate than a jet or turboprop engine.
@ByERussell Delta Air Lines took a page out of its own playbook with dual deals for gently-used A350s and 737s, as it accelerates its recovery forecast. $DAL.
@CAPA_Aviation Angus Clarke, EVP Strategy @AirFranceKLM: We cannot get the A220 fast enough, I would say, even in the current context. We’re taking six before 31 December this year, and we’re taking up to 14 or 15 next year. #CAPALive.
@Gaussm A good exchange with the Ambassador of Canada @Kev_Rex about our Canadian built product Airbus A220. Currently @airBaltic is proud to be the largest operator in the world of the #Airbus A220-300.
