@ghimlay @Allegiant expects to buy another 50 used A320s (on top of the 50 A320 family jets it has already bought), says SVP planning Jude Bricker.
@ghimlay @Allegiant SVP on fleet strategy: “I buy any used A320 that is appropriately priced in the world.” #Boyd15LAS.
@ghimlay @Allegiant expects to be an all-A320 family operator of around 100 aircraft in about 2022.
@ghimlay Asked if @Allegiant will ever operate A320neo, SVP Jude Bricker laughed and said maybe in 15 years.
@Ryanair Fact of the Week: Every 45 seconds a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 takes off #Ryanair30.
@ThomasCrotty1 Have to say that I am very happy with @ryanair service on Twitter. Sorted a small problem, without any fuss. Highly recommend them.
