X Picks:

@bscholl Compared to Concorde, Overture’s cabin is 21% larger, offers 63% more space per passenger and has windows 4X larger. The Symphony engine is 20% more efficient at cruise—and Overture’s high-speed aerodynamics are 16% better.

@businessposthq Golf tourists spend 3x more than the average visitor — and they’re coming in growing numbers. North Americans in particular are driving a boom in coach tours and premium stays.

@DXBMediaOffice Emirates will be layering on more retrofitted Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s on its existing schedules to Shanghai and Zurich; expanding Milan, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires schedules; and upgrading its services to Shanghai and Singapore with A380 deployments.

@IATA The French ATC strike is totally unjustified, causing 1000s cancelled flights designed to inflict maximum misery for holidaymakers. Even before this strike, latest @eurocontrol stats for end of June showed France responsible for 35% of delays. Completely unacceptable.
