My flight from KIX-KUL on @MAS Malaysia Airlines - I think I will be landing when the Grand Prix starts, but apparently you can’t hear it from the airport even though the track is very close by

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

Good afternoon Jean… blustery day for flying at @AKL_Airport

I see some people are still sending me DMs on X... really sorry, but for some reason X has locked me out of the chat function so I can't open the messages - if you want to chat, email me on [email protected]

Qantas has advanced the retirement window on their A380s... previously indicated FY2032, but will now start in CY2028. They will exercise options for another 20 aircraft to help complete that, including more A350-1000s (not the ULR version). Options are for delivery from 2030

@LachlanB_ I've never watched a full game of Aussie Rules, but reading your posts I feel like I should rectify that

Today’s ride to Adelaide….

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

Chilly start at @AKL_Airport, but Jean says it’s a great day for flying. No fog today, which is good

I’m delighted to announce Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi will make his first official visit to New Zealand next week.

India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, and a country of enormous importance to New Zealand’s economic prosperity.

We are taking the two countries’ relationship to the next level with our New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in April, which will deliver more jobs, higher exports and stronger economic growth for New Zealand.

This will unlock new opportunities to grow our goods and services exports into a market of 1.4 billion people – bringing more money into Kiwi communities, creating jobs and lifting wages.

If anyone is trying to message me via X.... I appear to have been locked out of the chat function by a passcode loop of insanity, and can't figure out how to solve it. Contact via email or Linkedin
