Tweet Picks:
@AlanLevin1 This is big news. After years of the #drone industry and #FAA struggling to apply aircraft design rules to this new tech, the agency has signed off on an aircraft for the first time.
@ByERussell Air New Zealand has postponed delivery of its first 2 787-10s until it FY25, or the year ending June 2025. Makes one wonder if that’s airline driven or whether Boeing’s promised 787-10 MTOW increase is delayed.
@ByERussell Ethiopian Airlines plans to expand its new @Dulles_Airport – Lomé route to daily next year, and is eyeing Atlanta and Houston for new service, CEO Mesfin Tasew Bekele said.
@ByERussell .@flyethiopian CEO Mesfin Tasew Bekele expects travel demand to fully recover this year, and is preparing the airline for the future. That includes restarting a campaign for a new 100-seat jet, hinting that the A220 is the likely winner.
@poloconghaile Eek. $1 = €0.99. Good for inbound US tourists to Europe… not so much for Europeans visiting the States…
