Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson is obviously a contrarian who is seen in the industry as brilliant, an incredible operator, unafraid and strategic. He is also perceived as arrogant, provocative and completely unapologetic about what he feels is best for Delta, its employees, customers and shareholders. AirwaysNews.com spoke with aviation observers on Anderson’s bold moves, his drive to change the industry’s business model, his lone wolf status and his legacy.

Henry Harteveldt, founder and travel industry analyst and advisor at Atmosphere Research Group, says that Anderson’s story at Delta is overwhelmingly positive. “Richard has helped oversee one of the three most important changes — making it a business powerhouse in the airline business — behind the carrier’s evolution after deregulation and handling the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks,” he said. “The fact that American Airlines views Delta as a primary challenger says an awful lot about the impact of Richard and his team.”

Anderson has pushed the airline to do many things, some of which are highly unconventional, said Harteveldt. “Chief among these was the oil refinery. He deserves credit for saying that airlines can buy used aircraft, refurbish them and fly them,” he

DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran ordered a sharp increase in oil output on Monday to take immediate advantage of the lifting of international sanctions, and some foreign firms raced to snap up deals as Tehran emerges from years of international isolation.

Others were more wary, mindful of the risk of falling foul of an array of U.S. penalties that remain in place despite the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions on Saturday by the United States, European Union and United Nations.

Those measures were scrapped as part of a landmark deal between Iran and world powers, rewarding the Islamic Republic for scaling back its atomic energy programme in ways that U.S. President Barack Obama said would prevent it from getting its hands on a nuclear bomb.

“We will be committed to the nuclear deal as far as the other side is,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Monday, adding that his country was “morally and religiously committed not to seek weapons of mass destruction”.

The agreement restores Iran’s access to tens of

WASHINGTON/ANKARA, Jan 17, (Agencies): Three Iranian-Americans left Tehran on Sunday under a prisoner swap following the lifting of most international sanctions on Iran under a deal President Barack Obama said had cut off every path for Tehran to obtain a nuclear bomb. In a sign of sustained readiness to track Iranian compliance with remaining United Nations curbs, the United States imposed fresh sanctions on 11 companies and individuals for supplying Iran’s ballistic missile programme.

The Obama administration imposed the new curbs after delaying the action for more than two weeks during tense negotiations to free five American prisoners, according to people familiar with the matter.

Iran conducted a precision- guided ballistic missile test last October, violating a UN ban. “This is a good day because once again we are seeing what’s possible through strong American diplomacy,” Obama said at the White House. “These things are a reminder of what we can achieve when we lead with strength and with wisdom.” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed the nuclear deal as a “golden page” in Iran’s history and said the agreement could

HARI SREENIVASAN: President Obama is calling the implementation of the nuclear disarmament pact with Iran a milestone achieved by being unafraid to negotiate with adversaries.

In remarks at the White House today, the president said the deal cuts off every single path Iran had to build an atomic weapon.

BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States: Under the nuclear deal that we, our allies and partners reached with Iran last year, Iran will not get its hands on a nuclear bomb.

The region, the United States, and the world will be more secure. Inspectors will monitor Iran’s key nuclear facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Today, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani praised the deal as a victory for the Iranian people and a model for resolving future issues.

HASSAN ROUHANI, Iranian President (through translator): The people of Iran proved that constructive interaction is true and is the right way. We can have interactions with the world that is in the interest of our people and definitely not at the detriment of others.

HARI SREENIVASAN: A Swiss plane carried three of the five American prisoners freed by Iran out of the country today.

“Washington Post” reporter Jason Rezaian, jailed in Tehran for a year-and-a-half, was among the men with dual U.S.-Iranian citizenship let go in a prisoner swap.

Rezaian’s brother, Ali, says his family’s nightmare is ending: “Jason is a loving brother, son and devoted husband whose life was unfairly interrupted when he was arrested for crimes he didn’t commit. Jason’s release

WASHINGTON/ANKARA Three Iranian-Americans arrived in Germany after leaving Tehran on Sunday in a prisoner swap that followed the lifting of most international sanctions on Iran under a deal U.S. President Barack Obama said cut off Tehran’s path to a nuclear bomb.

In a sign of sustained readiness to track Iranian compliance with remaining United Nations curbs, the United States imposed fresh sanctions on 11 companies and individuals for supplying Iran’s ballistic missile program.

The Obama administration had delayed the step for more than two weeks during tense negotiations to free five American prisoners, according to people familiar with the matter. Iran conducted a precision-guided ballistic missile test last October, violating a U.N. ban.

Speaking after the released Americans had left Iran, Obama said Iran now would not “get its hands on a nuclear bomb” and the planet would be more secure.

“This is a good day because once again we are seeing what’s possible through strong American diplomacy,” Obama said at the White House. “These things are a reminder of what we can achieve when we lead with strength and with wisdom.”

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed the nuclear deal as a “golden page” in Iran’s history and said the agreement could be used as a model to resolve other regional issues.

The lifting of sanctions and the prisoner deal considerably reduce the hostility between Tehran and Washington that has shaped the Middle East since Iran’s
