@AviationWeek Air Algerie has ordered 10 @Boeing 737-8s as part of a government-backed bid to modernize the carrier’s fleet, according to Algeria’s official news agency APS.

@ByERussell The FAA has certified a higher maximum takeoff weight variant of the Boeing 787-9 and -10 that extends the range by about 460 miles.

@ByERussell United unveils the CRJ450: a modified CRJ200 with 41 seats, including 7 in first, to serve “smaller cities.” The move is part of the larger premiumization of the airline but high fuel costs raise questions of the economics of a 41-seat RJ.

@SimonCalder EasyJet boss says “book as early as possible” to avoid air fare hikes. But CEO Kenton Jarvis says his airline has “hedging” in place to avoid price rises this summer. Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary plays down prospect of aviation fuel shortages in short term.
