The agreement includes a $1.65 billion contract for the establishment and operation of a training centre for the Hellenic Air Force by Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems (ESLT.TA) over a 22-year period, Israel's defence ministry said.

The training centre will be modelled on Israel's own flight academy and will be equipped with 10 M-346 training aircraft produced by Italy's Leonardo (LDOF.MI), the ministry said.

Elbit will supply kits to upgrade and operate Greece's T-6 aircraft and also provide training, simulators and logistical support.

Maybe if the CDC opened up cruising again, the airlines would have more passengers.

United Airlines said it expects fuel costs to rise by another 5% in the second quarter.

Sounds pretty optimistic. I'd guess Bidengas may cost 25% more in the second quarter.

Passenger numbers will surely go up when they install higher intersectionally scored people at the flight controls.

Ha!

We just recently cancelled BIG, YUGE $$ tickets, on UA.

Who wants to fly for hours w/a mask and be subjected to getting your brain poked (via your nose)...only to possibly have to quarantine, once you land at where you’re flying?

These idiotic china flu travel rules and restrictions change daily, it seems.

No thanks!

They can keep their unfriendly skies.

I'm sure UA losses have NOTHING to do with their woke announcement last week that 50% of their new pilots will be female or a minority.

I'm not going anywhere near an airline that sacrifices safety for political correctness.

Nothing a more diverse cockpit won’t fix. LOLOL...want to bet their passenger loads drop like a rock when the “diverse cockpit” takes hold?

We no longer fly. We drive. No matter how far. Fortunately, my wife and I love cross country road trips.

Tough sh!+

Mayhaps paying attention to their core business instead of preening for the wokemob would have them in a better position.
