Tweet Picks:
@ByERussell Airbus and Boeing delays are “certainly worse than three months, and it’s not getting any better,” ALC Exec Chairman Steven Udvar-Hazy said Thursday.
@ByERussell Chile’s Fiscalia Nacional Economica has approved @AmericanAir and @VuelaJetSMART’s partnership (minority stake in JetSmart by American, and codeshare and loyalty tie up) with no conditions.
@ByERussell Long-haul, low-cost start-up @flynorse CEO Bjorn Tore Larsen promises new London-U.S. routes for Summer 2023, plus new destinations on both sides of the Atlantic.
@ByERussell United expects 51 Airbus and Boeing aircraft due this year to arrive in 2024 or later. Southwest 36 aircraft, and Norwegian Air 10 aircraft, to name a few. These delivery delays are having a real impact on how much capacity the industry can fly this year.
@OmarAlghabra I met with @WestJet ’s CEO @AHoensbroech to get an update on their operations and discuss how we can work with industry to address the labour needs of the sector, and the importance of protecting passenger rights and of regional connectivity, both in the East and West.
