Today’s X Picks:
@ATWOnline @CebuPacificAir launches Davao-Hong Kong and Davao-Bangkok routes in October, boosting domestic capacity by 20% to capture 65% of the Philippine market share by June 2026.
@ByERussell Aer Lingus will end flights from Dublin to Denver, Minneapolis and Las Vegas in September, October and December, respectively, as the airline faces increased transatlantic competition and a “challenging” macroeconomic environment.
@ByERussell .@Allegiant began selling on @Expedia in July, its first-time ever distribution through an online travel agent (OTA), and already ~3% of total bookings are through Expedia with more than half from new customers.
@ByERussell .@Delta will launch the first-ever nonstop from Austin (AUS) to Paris (CDG). Flights will operate daily on an A330-900 from March 27, 2027 through the summer. AUS is a rapidly growing focus city for Delta.
