@eoghancorry Son of Flybe to fly Belfast City to Birmingham 3 times daily from 31 March.
@HofmannAviation #CEOinterview with Jens Bischof @eurowings : The improved cost structure is allowing the carrier to operate in highly competitive markets, like Stockholm. “We are well aware that we are entering a contested area, with Norwegian, Ryanair, SAS, etc..”
@HofmannAviation Changed political circumstances in Sudan and the resumed construction of a new airport outside Khartoum are leading Sudan Airways to believe it can grow the airline based on a strategy that would create a Northeast African hub.
@lesliejosephs Vacation inflation latest: U.S. airfare jumped almost 13% Feb 2022 vs Feb 2021 @BLS_gov says. Wait until summer.
@lesliejosephs So much drama in the OGG. Delta is ramping up Hawaii service late this year with new nonstops from ATL (to Maui), Detroit to Honolulu, and JFK to Honolulu as airlines compete for sunseekers willing to travel far for it.
