Tweet Picks:

@AirlineFlyer .@Airbus has announced a “cooperation agreement” with China that will result in the opening of a second final assembly line at its Tianjin facility, bumping overall Airbus output up to 75 aircraft per month in 2026 across all four FAL sites.

@ByERussell .@DENAirport  has made an impressive rise up @ACIWorld’s annual busiest airports ranking. Fuelling its climb are multiple hubs, 2 airlines — United and Southwest — promising significant growth, and a capital program adding 30+ gates to the airport.

@ByERussell Even with the recovery of Delta’s Atlanta hub lagging some of its others, @ATLairport  was — again — the world’s busiest airport last year.

@ByERussell Icelandair affirmed Airbus’ dominance in the mid-sized aircraft segment Friday with its MOU for up to 25 A321XLRs. The order is Icelandair’s first ever with Airbus after being a long-time Boeing customer, and current 757 operator.

@ByERussell The Bombardier CRJ900 has roughly 8% lower fuel burn than the E175 when both have 76 seats, Mesa CEO Ornstein says. Airlines like that savings, but he is quick to acknowledge that the E175 has higher passenger satisfaction.
