@AvWeekGuy @Universal_H2 makes first flight of fuel-cell powered Dash 8 at Moses Lake, Washington. 15 min flight max altitude 3,500 ft msl -largest hydrogen-electric aircraft to fly
@ByERussell EasyJet promised to grow at slot-constrained airports last year. It’s progress so far at Gatwick, and in Greece and Portugal. Also, Where it’s shrunk, for example in Berlin.
@davidshepardson Raimondo says she recently spoke to CEOs of Airbus and Boeing and notes there are still some kinks in airplane supply chain.
@Universal_H2 “The hydrogen-powered airplane is not just a revolutionary new product; it is a symbol of hope and progress, a beacon of light in a world that desperately needs it. Today marks a new chapter in the history of aviation and the fight against climate change.“
@ValerieInsinna The most important Air Force One news is actually hidden at the bottom: Looks like the schedule has continued to slip to the point where the objective delivery dates of Sept 2026 for the first VC-25B and Feb 2027 for the second plane are likely out of reach.
