@riga_airport CEO of #RigaAirport said today at the annual aviation industry event #RigaAviationForum: “#RIXAirportCity will be the Baltic gateway to the Northern Europe, best connected business district and the only true air-rail hub in the region.” #aviation #airport #growth #openness.
@winglets747 VietJet’s 200 737 MAX aircraft will be delivered 2024-2028. This includes 12 in 2024. So an average of 47 new aircraft every year from 2025-2028. This is high concentration of the backlog from an emerging market.
@winglets747 IndiGo has the 5th largest fleet of A320s in the world. It’s looking for only 22 leased A320s. There’s still a huge pool of mid-life aircraft available.
@winglets747 Taiwan-US is the only transpac corridor where flights this summer are above pre-Covid levels (per Rolls-Royce). More growth being built from Starlux and perhaps a resurgent China Airlines. EVA seems conservative.
