@eoghancorry Finnair are finishing their inflight retail service in response to changing customer shopping habits and to help make the airline more sustainable.
@eoghancorry Oct-Dec figures from #Ryanair revenue per passenger now €60, unit costs ex fuel down to €30 per passenger, Profit guidance raised to €1.325bn – €1.425bn, up from €1.-1.2bnl. 84 new max deliveries. “Strong market share gains in Italy, Poland, Ireland & Spain”
@winglets747 “The largest airport market beyond Doha was Iran’s capital Tehran, followed by Colombo in Sri Lanka and Dhaka in Bangladesh.” Notably no Indian point was in the top 3 for Air Canada to use Doha as alternative to nonstop & LH. QR has limited Indian rights.
