Weaker demand recently referenced by some U.S. and European LCCs is a return to more seasonal patterns as post-pandemic trends stabilize, Air Lease execs say .
AIRBUS booked orders in October from undisclosed customers for eight A220-300s, three A321neos and 10 A350-900s. It has now secured orders for 1,399 aircraft in 2023: 47 A220s; 1,182 A320neo Family; 36 A330s; 134 A350s.
As well as consolidating flights, Air New Zealand will pause two international connections from April: service from Auckland to Seoul and to Hobart, Australia.
The cuts mean that 21 of 42 destinations (both year-round and seasonal) to which American Airlines has been flying from Austin will be dropped in early 2024.
