Lufthansa operated its first coronavirus-free flight between Munich and Hamburg during a pilot program. Passengers were offered a rapid COVID-19 test at both airports and if negative, their boarding passes were activated and they were allowed to board. bit.ly/36HMrh2

Help is on the way! Pfizer reported better than expected news today. Their COVID-19 vaccine has now been shown to be 95% effective. Now the challenge of widespread distribution. Who will be first in line for the vaccine? bit.ly/3pF0ooy

Is COVID-19 creating more customer friendly airline policy updates and will they last? From waiving change fees, targeted promotions to reduced checked-bag fees - airlines are going the extra mile to convince travelers to take to the skies once again. bit.ly/35N5zex

This is what travel will be like post COVID-19? You take a test at the airport just before boarding and all passengers must be negative. Peace of mind and a safe return to travel. A vaccine will also help. cnn.it/2UDId4y

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

There is light at the end of this pandemic. We are moving in the right direction....

Our number one priority as we fight #COVID19 is keeping Canadians safe. In coordination with the U.S., we are extending restrictions on non-essential international travel and with the United States until July 21st, 2021.

So excited to be at #CollisionConf in Toronto!! There is so much innovation in Canada and around the world. Travel has brought us all here. In the corporate travel space, we are committed to #PoweringProgressThroughTravel #Businesstravel #EgenciaProven

I like what Adam Selipsky said, he never wants to work at a big company but always act like a nimble startup. He never wants to be just the incumbent, but be obsessed with building what customers need.  Totally agree #PoweringProgressThroughTravel #Businesstravel #EgenciaProven

Thanks Adam Selipsky for your plan to invest up to $21B in Canada by 2037. Canada is ready! #CollisionConf

New Express Entry program for skilled workers, 2-wks processing work permits, 3 years open work permits waiting for PR, digital nomad strategy for up to 6 months, new stream for 10k H1B holders to come in Canada. Big immigration announcements from Sean Fraser at #CollisionConf

Kudos to Martin Basiri on his new venture Passage. This will remove or alleviate the $40K per year cost barrier to foreign students who want to study in Canada.

Can AI help solve the worlds biggest challenges? Google’s Deepmind Colin Murdoch thinks so #proteinstructure is a great application. They have solved 200M structures saving 1 billion PHD years! He is also clear, the process must be safe, ethical and inclusive. #CollisionConf

Totally agree with Minister François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 Canada is a great place for tech innovation and tech entrepreneurs. We have great talent & people, a strong tech ecosystem, great cooperation & collaboration between govt, research institutes and private enterprise. #CollisionConf

What is the tech financing landscape post #SVB?? Wesley Chan and QED Investors advises entrepreneurs and founders to be multi-threaded and look at the risk profile of their banks. Don’t rely on regulators. Good advice ??#CollisionConf

Sitting in awe listening to Aidan Gomez talk about his transformer moment. The moment computers could talk to us. This was and is revolutionary and Canadian tech is at the vanguard. #CollisionConf #TechForGood
