Tweet Picks:

@miller22 Ticket prices may be coming down, but ancillary fees continue to rise.  Ancilflation.

@RossFeinstein .@AmericanAir $AAL: “We continually evaluate our fleet and our future aircraft requirements. We are talking to Boeing and Airbus about our narrowbody aircraft needs for the latter half of this decade and beyond.”

@RossFeinstein The US airline is considering Boeing’s 737 Max and Airbus’s A321neo to replace aging 737-800, A319 and A320 single-aisle models late this decade, said the people, who aren’t authorized to speak publicly about the discussions. The deal size could top 200 aircraft, including commitments for future purchases, two of the people said. American has about 255 of the workhorse jetliners in its fleet that are near the two-decade mark where maintenance costs soar.

@WandrMe Fleet adjustments buried a bit in the earnings press release: Fewer new aircraft planned for 2024, spreading more evenly over 2025-2029 range. And all the A319neo orders are now A321neo orders.

@WandrMe .@Allegiant  reporting record revenue on Q2 of $684 million,   “evidence of a robust leisure demand environment.” No indication from the company of weakness in the leisure sector, unlike recent claims from other airlines. $ALGT #avgeek.
