Tweet Picks:
@kpottermn As Spirit and Frontier struggle, Sun Country is steady & profitable. They’re waiting & ready to jump in if one falters. CEO Jude Bricker: “What we’re going to be waiting on is for some of our competitors to go through some challenging times and free up some opportunity for us.”
@TiborPNagyJr Of course it’s @flyethiopian which just signed deal for building biggest airport in Africa to replace Bole, which is near capacity. The new 4-runway field will be at much lower altitude allowing for lighter loads and easier takeoffs. My favorite airline!
@WandrMe .@azulinhasaereas is stretching its in-flight Wi-Fi program to long-haul operations. The carrier expanded its partnership with @viasat to add service on its A330neo planes from 2025.
@willguisbond G400 first flight is a key milestone in a long certification slog (via @theaircurrent).
