@hjelnaes Sir Tim Clark, the CEO of Emirates talks live with Richard Quest. We now fly 65% of pre war production, pretty full flights and we will be back on full production soon. And, we have good reserves of jet fuel. Dubai and our HUB will rise and continue to prosper.#CAPASummit.

@richardquest The departure Passport lines @CPH averaging 45 seconds – not bad.  BUT The arrival lines are long. How EU officials can be proud of this summer shambles is beyond understanding.

@thalesgroup @airindia has selected Thales for a 10-year FlytCARE agreement supporting Thales’ AVANT Up inflight entertainment systems across its 777, 787-8 aircraft and new 787-9 and A350 fleet.

@WilliamJMcGee “‘The idea that we would have one airline responsible for four out of ten flights every day is beyond horrific,’ William McGee, an aviation and travel fellow at the American Economic Liberties Project, said to CNN.”
