X Picks:
@hjelnaes IndiGo seems to revise S26 flight schedules between India and Europe. Operated by damp leased B789’s from Norse. 6 B789’s are leased from Norse, representing 50% of Norse fleet.
@hjelnaes SAS is looking for more widebodies, say CEO Anko van der Werff. SAS in talks with Boeing and Airbus on widebody order, Bloomberg News reports. Copenhagen Global Hub strategy by SAS has been successful and a few more A350 and A330neo will fit, in my view!.
@hjelnaes Soutwest is on a good flightplan. Customer loyalty is key metric for success, tops the doctrine of «always offer the lowest fare».
@LRosenblatt_ Boeing will move engineering work for the 787 Dreamliner from the Puget Sound region to South Carolina.
@RAeSTimR Airbus estimates that the A220 could potentially open up +550 long & thin routes as Asia-Pacific shifts to next phase of airline networks. #SingaporeAirshow #avgeek
