@Airbus Congrats to #IraqiAirways on receiving their first of five #A220 – we’re proud to see the aircraft playing a key part in the airline’s fleet renewal and modernization. Welcome to the A220 Family, Iraqi Airways!.

@BoeingAirplanes Thank you, @AtlasAirWW , for deciding to grow with Boeing. The order for four new market-leading 777 Freighters will bring Atlas Air more capacity with lower fuel use and emissions.

@ByERussell Nearly a year in, the partnership between @ridelandline and United Airlines in Denver appears off to a slow start. But that may not matter (yet) with the backing of United CEO Scott Kirby.

@ByERussell Not a huge surprise Virgin Atlantic plans Austin service from May 25. The city is an economic juggernaut, and a focus city for Virgin’s JV partner (and shareholder) Delta.

@ByERussell One reason for Allegiant’s 737 Max order: Boeing is “supporting” the additional training events needed for its pilots, per a report from Cowen analyst Helane Becker.
