  • @SimonCalder British Airways: from today, some journeys involving Heathrow connections take longer. BA has increased the "minimum connecting time" at its base from 1 hour to 75 minutes. Some previous transfers are no longer allowed. At Vienna, the minimum is 25 minutes.
  • @SimonCalder Ryanair happy to sell flights at a loss, says Michael O'Leary. This week: London Stansted to Venice or Catania, £12.99. Air Passenger Duty alone is £13, meaning Ryanair loses as soon as you step aboard. @FlightFreeUK says: “It’s time to tax airline fuel.”
  • @WandrMe Another 116 engines in the USA with a nickel powdered metal anomaly that need major repairs, to the tune of nearly $50 million.
