Tweet Picks:
@DawnGilbertson .@FlyFrontier chairman Bill Franke tells me there was no date “when somebody called up somebody” about a deal with @SpiritAirlines since airlines know each other well. But says it’s been under consideration for nearly a year.
@GrowingGatwick 1/6: easyJet planning to operate 80 aircraft at LGW this summer – there were around 65 ej aircraft at Gatwick in 2019 so this is an increase (probably as a result of Norwegian shrinking).
@lesliejosephs “Long term, our opportunity is international,” @delta CEO Bastian. “International is expensive…It’s hard to do it on your own.” JVs aren’t enough, he adds, you want to “be in the room.” Delta has invested in Aeromexico, LATAM, Virgin Atlantic, which declared bk during pandemic.
@lesliejosephs “Premium leisure is here to stay,” says Delta president Hauenstein.
@LuxuryTravelled A €96m loss for @Ryanair in Q3 is favourable compared to its main competitors, on the back of Omicron travel disruption. Cautions that although better, bookings are still last minute.
