@LuxuryTravelled WizzAir looking to defer deliveries into the next decade. Another indication that the ‘world domination’ strategy hasn’t worked, focusing instead of CEE (evident from new base openings). Share price is continuing to slide.
@LuxuryTravelled Mr O’Leary has thrown his toys out the pram again with Spain – this time announcing the closure of Asturias and reducing the summer schedule in 2026 to Regional Spain by 1.2m seats (roughly 10%).
@RollsRoyce Congratulations @Lufthansa on the delivery of your Boeing 787 Dreamliner (D-ABPT), the first new aircraft powered by our Trent 1000 XE – Engineered to deliver increased durability and longer time on wing.
@Schiphol Since the introduction of new airport charges at Schiphol, airlines are increasingly opting to use quieter aircraft for flights to and from the airport. The proportion of aircraft in the quietest categories rose from 23% last year to 33% in July to September.
