@airBaltic We’re happy to reveal a long-awaited milestone – our 40th @Airbus  aircraft will carry the Latvian flag colors! 🇱🇻 We’re proud that A220-300 carries Latvia’s name in the world and we’re looking forward to strengthening the bond with our valued partners between 🇱🇻&🇨🇦 in the future!.

@ByERussell With demand strong, IAG plans expansion across its four airlines — BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and Vueling — in 2023.

@dominicgates Guy Norris, @AvWeekGuy  of Aviation Week, suggests FAA agreement on the elusive certification basis for Boeing’s 777X may finally be in sight.

@jonostrower For both India and the industry that will supply it with airplanes in the coming years, the frenetic growth strategy across the country’s aviation players holds enormous potential, as well as systemic market risks amid a shifting geopolitical landscape.

@jonostrower Like Apple, Boeing is repositioning its supply chain of its most important product from China to India.
