Today’s X Picks:

@airwaysmagazine Qantas will accelerate the retirement of its Airbus A380 fleet from 2028, earlier than previously planned for 2032. Rising maintenance and parts-procurement challenges are driving the move, alongside incoming A350-1000ULRs and Boeing 787-9s.

@ATWOnline @airasia X plans to exit the Sydney market by suspending its Kuala Lumpur service as the wider group redirects capacity to stronger-performing routes from Perth and Melbourne.

@ATWOnline @AlaskaAir will add nonstop service from Seattle to Athens and Paris in May 2027, expanding its European network to five destinations and intensifying competition with @Delta  Air Lines.

@ATWOnline @BELFASTCITY_AIR (BHD) is seeking approval to increase its annual flight movement limit by more than a quarter as part of plans to accommodate 7 million passengers annually by 2040.
