@AirlineFlyer This EU agreement could be a big deal for a lot of airports. I did some quick Wikipedia sleuthing and a sizable number of EU airports with 12+ million 2022 passengers don’t have long-distance rail connections. No promises that my data is 100% correct.
@hjelnaes What a christmas gift for Norwegian and Wideroe! The Competition Authority in Norway has today approved Norwegian can buy regional airline Wideroe.
@LuxuryTravelled With @Ryanair’s Morocco expansion, some really interesting market moves. 1) Moroccan domestics on low-ish frequency. 2) Marrakech to Canary Islands Tenerife South and Lanzarote). 3) More routes to Spain/Portugal than to France…
@JM_Scindia Under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, the Ministry of Civil Aviation achieved several milestones in 2023. With the mission of ‘Sab Ude, Sab Jude’ we strive to connect India to new opportunities of growth.
