@Airline_Weekly Incoming Southwest Airlines CEO Robert Jordan must manage the arrival of 114 new aircraft during his first year as the carrier builds back its network depth, he told @munnikrishnan at the Skift Global Forum.
@Airline_Weekly “What is totally in our control is the decision on what aircraft we’re going to fly,” Air France-KLM CEO Ben Smith said of its carbon goals at the #SkiftForum. The arrival of the A220 is its latest step towards cutting emissions.
@AnnaPykett “Even if we do have to face other #COVID19 variants, a much more consistent approach is needed from governments around the globe.”Director of air transport consultancy JLS Consulting @JohnLStrickland.
@GuillaumeFaury Today takes our @Qantas relationship to a new level as we become the chosen partner to replace its single-aisle fleet. We’re committed to delivering the most modern & fuel-efficient technology and to sealing our partnership for a sustainable future. Thanks for your ongoing trust!.
@JohnLStrickland a really big change for @KLM which unlike @airfrance has historically been a #Boeing short haul customer. Makes sense for commonality across the group including @transavia @transaviaFR #airlines A big win for #Airbus.
