Tweet Picks:
@airkarp Outgoing @Allegiant CEO Maurice Gallagher, who founded the ULCC in 2002, speaking last week: ‘We, early on, understood we could not copy existing carriers & attempt to beat them at their game.’ 75% of Allegiant’s current routes are not flown by any other airline.
@ByERussell IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta called Tata’s acquisition of Air India, and the launch of start-up Akasa “noise in the system” when asked about the competition during IndiGo’s December quarter results call.
@emirates The world’s journey towards recovery continues, and Emirates SkyCargo is doing its part. Since our first flight carrying vaccines 15 months ago, we’ve now transported over 750 million doses worldwide!
@HofmannAviation @Icelandair remaining 13 @Boeing 757-200/300s will be replaced in the second half of this decade and the all-Boeing operator is preparing to enter discussions with OEMs on its future aircraft options.
@jonostrower The subtext of @dominicgates smart take here is Boeing is facing a mountain of dev priorities across its twin-aisle freighters beginning with 777XF in 2028, to say nothing of an A321neo response & Max successor. Boeing got badly jammed doing 787, 747-8 & Max launch concurrently.
