Your Klout Score Could Get You into American’s Admirals Club

Have a lot of Twitter followers? American thinks you’re worthy of its Admirals Club - free of charge. Klout, a social-influence measurement tool, introduced a perk that’s bound to intrigue frequent flyers. The company, which offers deals to those with high “Klout scores,” is offering those with a 55 or above to qualify for a one-day pass to American’s Admirals Club in 40 different airports. The partnership is the latest attempt by marketers to shower attention on consumers’ big footprints in social media, in hopes to earn mentions in their news feeds. Klout scores are computed through a proprietary algorithm that weighs various elements in users’ social-media profiles, including their follower count and engagement with their tweets. The American promotion is broadly targeted, not aimed at users who live in a particular area or who have any specific expertise.

Editor’s Note: A marketing page has details on the promotion.

United to Resume 787 Flying on May 20

United says it now expects to start flying its Boeing 787s again on May 20. The 787s had been grounded because of concerns about smoldering batteries, but they have been returning to the skies. Ethiopian Airlines was the first to fly a 787 again, on April 27. The first United flight will be from Houston Intercontinental to Chicago O’Hare. Boeing is putting a new battery system on 50 of the 787s that have been delivered around the world. United’s planes are being worked on at a Boeing facility in San Antonio.

Paint Job But No Party for Airbus A350

Airbus has started painting the A350, a sign it is approaching its first flight, but has bowed to the industry’s increasingly pragmatic mood by deciding against a traditional rollout for its newest jet. Eight years after the spectacular launch of the A380 superjumbo, the A350 will prepare to leave the nest with less fanfare. The first coat of paint in Airbus livery should be ready on the A350 next week, people familiar with the project say. After that, the high-tech carbon-composite jet will be dressed ready for the first flight, which most industry sources expect in late June or early July. Airbus says the A350 will enter service on time in mid-2014.
