Tweet Picks:
@MaxK_J First Etihad A380 to be reactivated after Covid storage arriving back in AUH last night. @cirium data shows A6-APG left AUH back in Apr 2021 for long-term storage in Teruel (and spent the last month at @TarmacAerosave in Tarbes). Back in service on LHR route this summer.
@MaxK_J For various reasons these “opportune” #737Max 8s will be the first new single-aisles to be delivered directly to Qatar Airways for over a decade, according to @cirium data (also QR’s first Boeing SAs since 1990s 727 fleet) @flightglobal report.
@MaxK_J The first Boeing 787s are to be parted out – two R-R powered ex-Norwegian #B787-8s in storage at PIK since 2019. @EirTrade has disclosed it is managing the disassembly and consignment of the two 10-year-old aircraft.
@miller22 We expected the pilot shortage, but it hit faster and harder than even we were expecting. Our 2022 forecast as of last year showed a shortfall of 5,500 pilots. As we move through 2022, that number is closer to 8,000.
@jonostrower While 1.5% savings on its 737-700 fleet may not seem like much, at an airline like Southwest it’s the equivalent of one Breeze Airways worth of emissions.
