Today’s X Picks:

@SeanM1997 Turkish Airlines is targeting London City Airport as an additional destination in the British market. Turkish don’t have any aircraft which can land at LCY, so will be interesting how they plan to serve it.

@timjue United Airlines announces its “largest international expansion yet” with planned international flying to new transatlantic & transpacific destinations. Many of the new routes are made possible by the introduction of the Airbus A321XLR to its fleet.

@timjue “We are more of a lifestyle brand than we are an airline,” says United’s SVP of Global Network Planning Patrick Quayle in describing the airline’s slew of new summer 2027 routes to far-flung destinations like Ibiza, Valencia, Toulouse & Okinawa.

@timjue Regarding seat back entertainment monitors on United: it’s a “home run” for the airline, says Chief Commerical Officer Andrew Nocella. “It defines what a premium global airline is in the world today.”  70 percent of the mainline fleet will have seat back entertainment by 2027.
