Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell “Fuel represents a higher share of the trip cost for a long-haul route like Orlando than shorter haul routes. Current high fuel prices make Orlando less attractive.” Frankly, this is what a disciplined airline does in response to high fuel prices.
@ByERussell Good explainer on the U.S. pilot shortage from @miller22. One thing that’s often misses: captains need at least 2,500 hours so new hires at regionals with 1,500 hours are stuck in the right seat for another 1,000 hours.
@ByERussell IAG’s commitment to up to 150 Boeing #737Max aircraft is “very good for the group. We are analysing now where to better place those planes,” said Iberia CEO Sánchez-Prieto. A placement decision is coming by the fourth quarter.
@ByERussell .@PHXSkyHarbor is back to 95% of pre-pandemic numbers and on its way to a record breaking 50 million passengers next year. But airport director Chad Makovsky says his top problems are “workforce, workforce, and workforce.”
@ByERussell Since oil prices jumped, airline executives around the world have expressed confidence they can pass on the added expenses to travellers. Not so much in India, where IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta fears a demand hit from higher fares, reports @munnikrishnan.
