Talking Points

Mistral Air (Italy) ferried it's only passenger configured aircraft, a 737-400, to the US for freight conversion. It will join an existing 737-300F in the airline's fleet

Airbus is reported to be near a deal to sell 30 additional A380s to Emirates (Possible announcement at the Dubai Air Show)

Lufthansa commenced Berlin to New York JFK service, after a break of 16 years

The UK high court denied the administrators of bankrupt Monarch Airlines the ability to sell the airline's airport slots to benefit creditors

China Aviation Supplies ordered up to 300 Boeing aircraft for distribution to Chinese airlines. Airline and Aircraft details are currently undisclosed [The Seattle Times reported this was effectively 'fake news', citing many of these orders as being old orders]

Eurowings (Germany) wet-leased a 767-300ER from PrivatAir (Switzerland)

A company named 777 Partners plans to resurrect World Airways, a US airline that failed in March 2014 (after 66 years of service). Plans call for up to ten 787s operating low cost long haul service (the record of trying to revive previous airline brands is not a good one - none have flourished or survived - CORRECTION: Frontier is one example that has indeed been successfully resurrected).
