@DeccanHerald The world’s fastest-growing #aviation market is expected to invest Rs 99,000 crore ($12 billion) and build 220 #airports by 2025, versus 148 currently, agencies reported, in a bid to ease the load on existing infrastructure.
@HypeAviation Air China Ltd. urgently requests commercial pilots from an Australian flight school, signalling a potential rebound as China’s international travel market resumes amidst the pandemic.- Angus Whitley #aviation.
@jonostrower If it ends up happening in June, it will set a new record for largest single aircraft deal. If Turkish wants 810 aircraft in their fleet, this is going to be very heavily focused on replacement.
@sandeeprrao1991 Fantastic to see @KLMIndia introduce new Premium Economy Class on Indian routes! The roll out is as per availability of new a/cs equipped with this cabin. The PY looks good and offers wider seats, inclined legroom & recline #Aviation #India #KLM #BLR #AMS #DEL #BOM.
