@eVTOLInsights .@ArcherAviation says its planned network will connect #Miami, #FortLauderdale, #BocaRaton and #WestPalmBeach via 10 to 20-minute flights. The network will also offer efficient travel options between the region’s three major international airports.

@flightradar24 On this very day, the first flight of the Embraer E175-E2 took place in 2019 from the factory in São José dos Campos, Brazil. The E175-E2 program is currently paused, primarily due to issues selling the model to US regional carriers.

@FlyRwandAir During the launch ceremony of our inaugural flight to #Zanzibar, Ag. COO Mr. Ernest MUSHI said: “This expansion reflects our growing commitment to the Tanzanian market and our vision to make air travel across the region more accessible, efficient, and enjoyable.”

@gotravelyourway flydubai’s CEO has ruled out any North America flights with their upcoming Boeing 787-9 fleet. The new three-class Dreamliner will open new routes, but “not that far” for now. Interesting move for an airline about to step into widebody operations.
