Today’s X Picks:

@Jamie_Freed Emirates expects Boeing 777-9 deliveries in second quarter 2027, president says.

@OilandEnergy Ryanair cut its winter traffic target from 216M to 214M passengers as soaring jet fuel prices bite. While 80% of its fuel is hedged at $67/bbl, the remaining 20% is exposed to prices near $140/bbl. #Oil #JetFuel #Airlines.

@qatarairways We welcome back our partner, @British_Airways, to Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.

@simonasbartkus .@Ryanair will stop flying from Berlin to @TLLairport at the end of October. Estonia will lose a capital connection with Germany as airBaltic also suspends the Berlin route from Tallinn in Winter 2026/2027.
