X Picks:

@AviationWeek Airbus’ proposals for a maritime patrol variant of the A321XLR airliner are to be the subject of further risk-reduction studies as France considers replacing its Dassault Atlantique 2 fleet.

@FlyingHighRyan Southwest CEO Bob Jordan leads off the airline’s earnings call by acknowledging the accident in D.C. “While we are all competitors, we are one airline community…”

@LuxuryTravelled Absolute and complete non-sense… Luton Airport needs a new terminal, the current is inefficient for the number of passengers. The truth is you’re never going to know – and we have to work hard to deliver emission reductions, with new technology in the future.

@simonasbartkus .@wizzair will replace both aircraft based in Vilnius Airport this summer, from 180-seat A320s to 239-seat A321NEOs, bringing +32% more capacity on each flight. The airline estimates this change will bring 215,000 extra seats annually from VNO.
