Today’s X Picks:

@AviationWeek Comac has completed the maiden flight of a high-altitude variant of its C919 narrowbody, designed for operations at airports on the Tibetan Plateau and other high-elevation regions.

@AviationWeek @JetBlue believes planned initiatives will support a 2027 return to sustained operating profitability, as it expects to capitalize on an upcoming launch of domestic first class as well as the recent exit of @SpiritAirlines. 

@AviationWeek John Evans outlines how aircraft demand continues to outstrip supply despite concerns around fuel prices and the Middle East conflict which are driving demand for new-generation aircraft.

@AviationWeek @Qantas  is making good progress in its narrowbody fleet renewal programs, and the carrier is starting to deploy its new @Airbus A220s and A321XLRs on their first international routes.
