Tweet Picks:

@Starlink Starlink keeps passengers connected with high-speed internet from the moment they step onboard their plane. We’re now on contract to connect more than 1,000 aircraft and counting all around the world!.

@theAPEXassoc At  @aix_expo , @Airbus unveiled a new product standard for its A330neo Airspace cabin, which will be available from 2027 onwards.

@WandrMe The DOT is revising how the 777X will be certified for loss-of-power operations. Among other things, it will require sufficient redundancy to maintain control of flight for the maximum certified diversion time, not just 5 minutes, and in IMC conditions, not just VFR. #AvGeek $BA.

@winglets747 Usage of airport slots – a finite resource – varies significantly. Consider Bali. While Emirates this year is increasing output to double daily 2-class A380s, Jetstar will require more slots to offer the same amount of capacity as it shifts from widebodies to narrowbodies.
