X Picks:

@airBaltic Rising passenger numbers reflect the increasing demand for connectivity. Last month, we saw a 14% increase in passengers compared to year before, reaching a 75.4% load factor – our strongest January performance to date.

@AndythePandy_ Considering LGA is the smallest of the 3 airports in the New York area, over 33 million people went through this little airport last year! That’s equivalent to Dublin!.

@AviationWeek A third acquisition offer from @FlyFrontier has been rejected by @SpiritAirlines  after an unsuccessful counter, concluding that it would deliver less in value than its standalone restructuring plan.

@ATWOnline The operating cost gap between network carriers and #LCCs is shrinking, particularly in the U.S., making it harder for LCCs to compete and differentiate themselves.
