It’s that time of the week again where we peer back through some of the happenings in the odd world of aviation and beyond.
Passenger Experience
- United Airlines puts Premium Plus on sale – The airline finally joins the premium economy bandwagon
- LOT Polish Airlines to refit Boeing 737-800s with Recaro BL3710 Seats– another great move for a good seat.
- American Express to open a Centurion Lounge… at Heathrow Terminal 3 – a shake-up to say the least, but there’s a lot of lounges in Terminal 3 already…
Routes and Networks
- Royal Air Maroc to join oneworld – not unexpected, and adds some African destinations to the oneworld network. It’s a long wait though for them to formally join.
Order books
- Avolon Leasing signs for 100 more A320neo family aircraft – because as a lessor, you need planes to lease onto companies…
