Qantas posts a whopping $1.39bn profit as more are flying with Jetstar. Imagine how much money BA/IAG could be making now if BA hadn't back in 2000 decided to disposed of Go. It turned a profit every month that year. Instead BA wanted to "focus on what it does best by being a full service airline".

Heathrow's review could lead to a wide-ranging shift in space allocation at the airport. Keen to hear which airlines you think will be on the move, and to which terminal? ✈️ #AvGeek #Aviation #PaxEx

It's a major win for Aussie travellers as the Qatar Airways Virgin Australia deal is given the green light. Let's hope the extra capacity results in more competitive fares. 👍 ✈️ #Aviation

Seems, from this headline, @speedbirdjulie.bsky.social's favourite airline has a new moniker... British Despairways

Qatar Airways is aiming for a ribbon-cutting by the end of this year on it's new at lounge at BKK's satellite terminal. This means that if your flight doesn't depart from the satellite terminal, you won't be able to use the lounge if flying a premium cabin on other oneworld carriers. ✈️ #PaxEx

Always on the look out for unique items to put on our 'travel shelf' in the living room, that are a happy reminder of the places we've visited over the years. How about you?

Interesting nugget of info... Surinder Arora pays 2.62p a unit for a unit of water at the Renaissance Hotel which is outside the #Heathrow Airport boundary. At his Hilton Garden Inn next to Terminal 2, within the boundary, he pays Heathrow a lot more - 23.27p a unit. ✈️ #Aviation #Airports

It's so incredibly wrong that customers should have to pay more, when over so many years the pockets of shareholders have been overflowing with regular dividends. Perhaps the courts need to find those involved in this theft guilty, and take steps to claw dividends back from shareholders.

This is a really cool airline livery! To celebrate JetBlue's 25th anniversary this week, they unveiled a new plane livery... Blue Unity. "This inspired design celebrates our 23,000 dedicated, passionate, and just plane incredible crew members." ✈️ #Aviation #AvGeek

Looking forward to hearing the details of Thomas Woldbye's announcement today. Word is, the new funding will increase capacity at #Heathrow Terminals 2 & 5, reconfiguration of the airfield and improved bus connections (presumably airside between terminals). ✈️ #Aviation #PaxEx

TfL wants to double the number of Elizabeth line trains serving Heathrow Terminal 5. At present, only two Elizabeth line trains an hour arrive at and depart from the biggest and busiest of Heathrow’s terminals, which handles about 40 per cent of all airport passengers.

Qatar's Hamad International Airport #DOH has increased gate capacity by 20% with the opening of Concourse E. The latest terminal expansion has added eight new contact gates & 51,000 sq metres of space. Further development to expand Concourse D will be announced in a few weeks.

A new iconic Qantas uniform is set to debut in 2027. 👀 “As we look to the future, we are embarking on a major uniform redesign for all pilots, cabin crew, engineers, lounge, freight & airport teams. The new look will form part of our major fleet investments in the coming years.”
