@Cmdr_Hadfield Good-looking new-tech plane. It’s a hybrid-electric 50-100 seater, being built by Montreal’s @EVIOAircraft with 450 pre-orders. Uses @prattandwhitney PT6’s mated to electric motors, for 200-500 nm routes. A fuel-efficient, multi-role game changer. First flight 2029. New entry in Canada’s 100-year history of building world-class aircraft.
@davidvatz Such fantastic news! I’m very curious to see how narrowbody trans-Atlantic service works on the new A321LR/XLR fleet from Aer Lingus. I think there’s probably a ton of European markets that could support similar service from PIT (AMS and CDG come to mind).
@DXBMediaOffice Dubai Duty Free announces a landmark performance for November 2025 with sales reaching AED 876 million, marking a 16% increase over November 2024. This result positions November 2025 as the strongest of the nine-record breaking months this year.
@EmbSpainUK We are celebrating the gala dinner of the Chamber of Commerce @SpainChamberUK with Luis Gallego, the CEO of IAG, one of the symbols of the strong economic ties between Spain and the UK. Thanks to Iberia, Vueling and British Airways, our people and businesses are closer than ever.
