Today’s X Picks:
@HofmannAviation SAS completes Wifi from Starlink installation across its entire Airbus A320neo fleet in just six months. SAS operates 81 A320neos.
@JP_Biz In a market update this morning Michael O’Leary suggests higher oil prices mean some of Ryanair’s rivals might not make it to next summer.
@KarlBrophy The @ryanair group is currently flying just shy of 4,000 flights a day. Quite remarkable that more than 2.5% of all the flights every day in the world are flown by Ryanair.
@simonasbartkus Based on schedules comparison 2026 vs 2027 airBaltic’s new business plan delivered 5% decreased number of flights from Riga, 14% decrease from Tallinn and 24% decrease from Vilnius. In total, I can see airBaltic needs 19 aircraft for Riga operations, 3 for TLL and 2 for VNO.
