@IATA The airline industry’s revenue is projected to reach USD 996 billion in 2024, marking a 10% year-on-year (YoY) growth rate and reaching the highest nominal value in #aviation history.
@rschuur_aero The much-awaited narrowbody order that was expected in November takes more time. @RiyadhAir needs more time to clarify the situation of the manufacturer. Despite @embraer announcing a Saudi MoU to explore options for the E2, Riyadh Air says the E2 doesn’t fit the plan.
@WandrMe “Carry-on bags are an important part of travel to customers, and when presented with a choice between JetBlue’s award-winning service and another carrier’s basic offering, we want JetBlue to be the easy winner.” - @martysg announcing Blue Basic gets a carry-on from 6 Sept. #PaxEx.
@winglets747 Starlux in oneworld: lots of upside, especially for US point of sale. China Airlines and EVA don’t have deep US partnerships. Delta prefers its own metal or Korean. United itself or ANA. AA needs partners: too small on its own and JAL doesn’t have enough intra-Asia flying.
