@ACI_EUROPE Newitt @heartaerospace “SAF is going to eliminate a lion’s share of aviation’s emissions, but we still need the new technology of aircraft to deliver 100% carbon free flight. The technology is there, but to scale up we need to solve the biggest issue – the economic proposition.”
@airBaltic Welcome home, YL-ABO. Our family just got bigger as our 41st @Airbus A220-300 touched down at @Riga_airport to carry travellers to their desired destinations! We are proud to continue expanding our fleet with the greenest commercial aircraft in the world.
@AirlineFlyer .@qatarairways is ready to become a 737 operator on May 15. It has already started taking delivery of a bunch of 737 MAX 8s that were originally going to S7. Service starts May 15th to AUH and later to DMM, KWI.
@BoeingAirplanes Keep soaring, @azalofficial! With an incremental order of eight 787-8 #Dreamliners we are excited to continue our long partnership with Azerbaijan’s national flag-carrier. Here’s to new routes and many more Dream-y flights to come! #FlyAzal.
@ByERussell Airlink’s growth comes as state-owned South African Airways, which shutdown for an extended period during the pandemic, continues to operate as a shadow of its former self. SAA will operate just 12% of its pre-pandemic capacity in Q2, per Diio.
