@CAPA_Aviation Abra Group CEO Adrian Neuhauser: “We have a population that needs to connect, that needs to fly, that we service with low fares. And that population is starting to connect to the rest of the world”. #CAPASummit.
@CAPA_Aviation Embraer lands major wins with Avelo and LATAM, pushing its E-195-E2 jets into key US and Brazilian markets. Avelo targets underserved US routes; LATAM eyes 35 new destinations. A strategic shift in regional aviation may be underway.
@CAPA_Aviation Global airline capacity reached 136.8M seats, up 3.7% year-on-year. Asia Pacific added 2.5M seats while Europe cut 1M. Mixed regional performance shows aviation recovery isn’t uniform.
@CAPA_Aviation .@LATAMAirlines CEO Roberto Alvo: The airline industry’s long-term net zero target “will not be achieved if there is no good public policy to tackle the issue”. He added “We have to decarbonise and what we need is intelligent well-crafted policies.” #CAPASummit
