Targeting German holidaymakers for the island of Ireland
X Picks:
@jonostrower United at the end of 2025 quietly converted 56 787-9s to -10s. Lots of intersecting factors: 15% more premium seating vs 777-200ER, a RR/GE campaign for 787s, a looming A350 deal — not to mention a growing engine shortage from Pratt for its oldest 777s.
@LondonAirTravel British Airways CEO Sean Doyle has confirmed that the first of 32 Boeing 787-10 aircraft ordered by the airline last year will be delivered to its base at Gatwick, to start the replacement of the Boeing 777-200 fleet
@simone_chellini Airbus is not at the point of decision-making about the A220-500 and A350-2000. Its CEO confirmed interest in higher-demand products and is working behind the scenes on stretched variants; however, a decision has yet to be made.
@SmartwingsGroup Smartwings has secured another international contract with Air Seychelles. In Q1 2026, the carrier leased a Boeing 737 MAX 8 with crew, based in Mahé, flying to Johannesburg, Colombo, Abu Dhabi, Tel Aviv & Mauritius.
