@ByERussell Yes, European discounter (and the continent’s third largest airline) Wizz Air wants to fly to the US. But not for scheduled service — yet. Only “for charter rights for the World Cup flights,” CFO Ian Malin said Thursday.
@ByERussell Southwest Airlines contractually would take delivery of 167 new Boeing 737 MAX in 2026. In reality, the number of deliveries is likely to be much, much lower with the company actually expecting only 66 737-8s — and none of the 101 737-7s Boeing owes them.
@irlembrabat Ambassador Helena Nolan was pleased with Taoufiq Tounsi, Operations Ground Regional Manager at Ryanair, to discuss connectivity, cooperation, the importance of air links in strengthening people-to-people ties and economic engagement between Ireland and Morocco.
@krisvancleave Alaska used the big reveal of its first 787 with its new livery to announce its biggest Boeing order ever 105 737 Max10s and firming up its existing options for 5 787-10s. Airline hopeful for much delayed Max10 certification and deliveries to start by 2027.
