@JeremyBrookman2 The former A380 wings factory in Broughton will be converted to A320 family production most notably A321 wings.
@jonostrower The BOJ raised its interest rates after weeks of prodding by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to bolster the yen. That has major implications for U.S. carriers enjoying a boom in Americans traveling to Japan.
@TomKloza Wow! Delta Airline’s 10-Q filing: The 200k/bd Monroe refinery saw an operating loss of $33-million in the quarter, compared to a gain of $53-million in 3Q2025. Reduced capacity thanks to a June incident. Also on balance sheet: Hedging losses of $416-million for fuel. Yikes!.
