@davidshepardson CEO Scott Kirby on bankrupt Spirit Airlines: “It seems unlikely to me that Spirit can keep flying because their customers dislike the airline and don’t want to fly. It’s all about customers”.
@FAA_Bryan People. Technology. Innovation. That’s how the @FAANews will deliver the world’s safest and most efficient airspace system. It was great to join industry leaders at today’s @USChamber Global Aerospace Summit where I shared how the FAA is strengthening the foundation of the national airspace system.
@SeanM1997 London Heathrow Airport became the first European airport ever to surpass 8 million passengers in a single month (August 2025). This was due to larger aircraft and higher loads at Heathrow, with negligible change in movements.
@SpiritAirlines Scott is finally right about something – it is all about customers. Our Guests love low fares, especially our new Spirit First and Premium Economy options. Maybe that’s why United executives can’t stop yapping about us.
