Tweet Picks:

@David_Slotnick United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby thinks it’s a 60-40 chance that the JetBlue-Spirit merger closes, he says. Kirby tells me he isn’t worried about the potential newly merged competitor: “I think we’re going to win no matter what.”

@LondonAirTravel easyJet will return 90 slots a week at London Gatwick to British Airways for the summer 2024 season. This allows for expansion by BA EuroFlyer at the airport. BA leased 230 slots a week to easyJet for the summer 2022 season.

@LuxuryTravelled This was a defensive move by BA/IAG to try and thwart expansion at Gatwick by Wizzair. Now travel is returning, so are the slots.

@LuxuryTravelled Well done to @jet2tweets for bringing Pula back to its network – Istria has been really popular with our clients over the last 18 months.
