@CAPA_Aviation International tourism reached 96% of pre-pandemic levels by July 2024, led by strong demand in Europe and the reopening of Asia-Pacific. Around 790M tourists travelled in the first seven months, up 11% from 2023 and just 4% below 2019.

@emirates We’ve opened the doors to our newly revamped lounge in Stansted Airport. Customers can look forward to premium on ground experiences, and exquisite ‘farm to table’ gourmet meals created in partnership with Sussex-based Full Circles Farms.

@FAA_Mike Safety continues to be our north star while operating the world’s busiest, most complex aviation system. It remains our top priority now and into the future.

@flightradar24 Ultra low-cost carrier Allegiant is taking delivery of its first 737 MAX,  a high-density 737-8-200 featuring 190 seats. The airline has maintained an all-Airbus fleet since 2018.
