@AirlineFlyer This EU agreement could be a big deal for a lot of airports. I did some quick Wikipedia sleuthing and a sizable number of EU airports with 12+ million 2022 passengers don’t have long-distance rail connections.
@hjelnaes What a christmas gift for Norwegian and Wideroe! The Competition Authority in Norway has today approved Norwegian can buy regional airline Wideroe.
@ittn_ie TUI – the world’s largest holiday company – will let its shareholders vote on its plans to close its London Stock Exchange share listing and solely trade its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. #ittnswitchedon.
