Air India, Virgin Atlantic, changes at Norse Atlantic - and has anyone seen John's luggage?
John Grant has sent us his thoughts on the aviation industry while working with clients in India, so what's the latest news?
Virgin Atlantic once again display their incredible nose for a route support scheme and de-risking a new service. A strategic partnership with an airline yet to fly may also help as well as their Skyteam partner's presence, but does the UK really need two carriers on #Riyadh at the moment?

Huge kudos to #Indian #aviation this week. Multiple (eleven) domestic flights all arriving ahead of, or on time, through some congested airports with first-time travellers everywhere makes operations a challenge. Well impressed with IndiGo (InterGlobe Aviation Ltd) and Air India Limited and even pleasantly surprised with their online app! A market to watch.

Norse Atlantic Airways readjust its strategy to become a 50% charter operator, no surprise but will that work on just buy time?

And shout out to Qatar Airways for misconnecting John's bag despite a five-hour delay to the onward service and assuring him it was on board….not ideal!
