Tweets of the day:
@PEdmondAero The @cityjet deal also sees Cityjet operating 8 CRJ900s on a wet-lease basis for SAS @flysas . Congrats to Cityjet – big development!.
@PEdmondAero @cityjet to acquire 8 @Bombardier CRJ900s + 6 options. (Probably lease, not purchase – & what about new LCY fleet?).
@PEdmondAero MO’L: “The summer peak this year was extraordinary. I’ve never seen such a perfect summer. Even the incompetent airlines made money.”
@Ryanair Statement RE refugees issue: The comments attributed to Kenny Jacobs are entirely fictitious & there is no truth to these claims whatsoever.
@winglets747 Funny coincidence. Singapore Airlines holds HK loyalty appreciation concert on same day Cathay devalues its loyalty programme.
