Tweet Picks:
@CorkAirport “We will rebound differently from this pandemic crisis and already have 8 scheduled airlines signed up for next year and 3 more under discussion. We are cautiously optimistic for the future.” – Niall MacCarthy Managing Director @CorkAirport speaking @CorkChamber #CCBreakfast.
@ethanklapper New from @TransportStats : “The 24 U.S. scheduled passenger airlines employed an estimated 412,844 full-time equivalents (FTEs) in October 2021, an increase of 0.5% (2,008 FTEs) from September 2021 (410,836 FTEs).”
@hjelnaes SAS surprised on a positive note with its November traffic data. Only minor downdraft vs the previous month (OCT), well done SAS!.
@jrobinsuk .@BreezeAirways chief David Neeleman says the @airbus A220 should enter service end-Q2/start Q3 on longer haul routes (but won’t say which ones). Will start with 5 of the aircraft. Long term hopes to serve 10-12 cities in Brazil out of Florida.
@jrobinsuk .@ryanair boss Eddie Wilson says the airline recovery in Europe has been “t-boned” by Omnicron, with the restrictions being “groundhog day”. Yet remains optimistic for next summer predicting pent up demand and reduced capacity, meaning high fares. #aviationfest.
