🚀✈🚁 Delta Air Lines Echoes Air France Olympics to Hit Bottom Line ✈🚁 ▪️Delta Air Lines Airlines has added its voice to the growing chorus of concerns about the economic impact of the Paris Olympics. Echoing similar sentiments expressed by Air France weeks ago, Delta Air Lines has announced that it expects to incur significant financial losses due to the global sporting event. ▪️The airline attributes its projected losses to increased operational costs, heightened competition for resources, and potential disruptions to flight schedules. However, a deeper issue may be at play. The surge in prices across France, a consequence of various economic factors, seems to have deterred many tourists from visiting Paris this summer. ▪️While the event is anticipated to bring economic benefits to Paris, the broader impact on the tourism sector and airlines remains a cause for concern.

“I’m leaving on that midnight plane to Georgia….” Admittedly we’re talking air not rail and the flights in question depart at lunchtime, but why let a couple of words get in the way of a catchy lyric and a classic tune. The news that #easyJet is launching a twice weekly service from #Lutonairport to the Georgian capital #Tbilisi in 2025 came as a wake-up call to those who believed the geographical expansion of European boundaries low-cost aviation had reached its zenith. The fact that #britishairways have simultaneously announced their own service from Heathrow testifies to the growth potential of this hitherto largely untapped market. To me the addition of a new country to the orange map is always something to celebrate. I’ve long believed that #easyJet (and to be fair its low-cost competitors) have played an important and understated role in bringing the disparate community of European nations closer together. Through opening up affordable opportunities to travel they have enabled tens, if not hundreds, of millions of the continent’s citizens to forge new friendships, develop business opportunities and to understand and appreciate our varied culture, cuisine and history   Beyond tourism and business, sports fans and lovers of the arts also stand to benefit from the new links. Georgia has long punched above its weight in Europe’s premier football and rugby competitions while a mid-table finish in the 2024 #Eurovision (sponsored by easyJet!) underscores the nation’s cultural credentials. Which may be stretching things a bit but starting and ending this post on a musical note has a certain circularity about it! #airlines [opinions expressed are my own and do not represent those of any other individual or organisation]
