@AlArabiya_Eng #SaudiArabia’s @RiyadhAir airline and Spanish football club Atlético de Madrid announce a multi-year sponsorship agreement in a joint statement.
@dominicgates A very cool report from @jonostrower about an effort by former Boeing engineers, now crucially backed by the USAF and Northrop Grumman, to break the Airbus/Boeing duopoly. They are pitching the Blended Wing Body airplane design that Boeing studied to death but never moved on.

@ridhimb Very exciting conversation coming with Adnan Kazim, CCO at @emirates On expansion says ‘Indian govt has frozen any extension of flying rights to the Gulf,partnership bw both countries at a strategic point but this is a MISSED opportunity’ @CNNnews18 #IATAAGM.
