X Picks:
@CAPA_Aviation European airlines’ seat capacity rose 3.6% YoY (week ending 26-Jan-2026), with Ryanair leading the way: traffic +6%, fares +4%, and FY2026 outlook raised to 208M passengers.
@CAPA_Aviation Southeast Asia is driving global aviation growth with massive aircraft order backlogs & surging demand. LCCs dominate, but full-service carriers are expanding too. 4,900 jets needed by 2044 as tourism & middle-class growth soar.
@mtrunz One thing is for sure, @Airbus has been busy sending their Test Aircraft fleet all over the globe. There is an A350-900 in Iqaluit, an A350-1000 in Singapore for the Airshow, an A320neo just returned back from Kazakhstan and now an A330neo going to Cameroon.
@OAG_Aviation Regional travel now drives 45% of international arrivals in ASEAN, up from 37% in 2019. Amid global uncertainty, Southeast Asia’s strong intra-region connections could be its greatest advantage.
