@johnpletz Planning a summer trip overseas? @SecretaryPete on the COVID-testing requirement for international travellers coming to the US: ‘I do not think it will be there forever … I don’t know how much longer” it will be in place.
@ByERussell Azul is the first airline I’ve heard to talk about a post-pent-up demand environment. “We are seeing new, and greater pattern of demand,” says CEO John Rodgerson on the airline’s earnings.
@ByERussell No more cliched “pent-up demand” at Azul. The airline has beat the pandemic, and expects its best results ever. “There is no peak summer ahead of us. There is no pent-up demand. It’s a new level of demand.”
