@LuxuryTravelled Ryanair offering a service from Stansted to Ouarzazate is both curious and culturally interesting. As the access point to the Sahara – its the first international flight outside of France. About a six hour drive from Marrakech, will it have enough bums on seats?.
@LuxuryTravelled The new Northern Cypriot national airline, Blue Kyrenia has been delayed until November – with the ambition of serving mainland Turkey from a base at Ercan.
@LuxuryTravelled There is an opportunity in the UK leading the way with SAF production, but there needs to be government backing to create the infrastructure.
@F1Media Formula 1 announce Qatar Airways as new Global Airline Partner in multi-year deal.
@SimonCalder Etias – the online “eurovisa” that every UK passport holder will need to travel to the EU – is postponed again. Won’t start until 2024 at the earliest. The related Entry Exit System, requiring facial biometrics and fingerprints, still due for November 2023.
