easyJet expects to reduce its HY1 FY24 headline loss despite a £40 million headwind from lower demand for slights to the Middle East. Since November, bookings have recovered, which makes the carrier optimistic that the slump in October has only been temporary.
SAS Scandinavian Airlines has slightly revised its expected financial targets for FY24 and the post-Chapter 11 period. Revenues will likely be higher than anticipated, but the carrier will miss out on its target to reach positive EBT already this financial year.
A day after the European Commission announced an in-depth investigation into the proposed acquisition of ITA Airways by Lufthansa, Brussels presents another one: IAG's proposed acquisition of independent Spanish carrier Air Europa. Again, the EC is concerned that the acquisition might reduce competition in Spain and on various international routes, it said on Wednesday.

Boeing MAX 9 aircraft that have been thoroughly inspected and approved are allowed to return to service, the FAA has announced late on Wednesday. Alaska Airlines said it will resume operations of the type on Friday. At the same time, the FAA has stepped up scrutiny of Boeing by blocking any expansion of the MAX production in Renton.
Wizz Air expects capacity for FY25 from April to remain flat year on year as it feels the effects of the grounding of the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan-powered Airbus A321neo's. The GTF issues and delays of some new aircraft deliveries will not be enough to offset the effects of lease extensions and dry leases. Hence, the flat capacity guidance for FY25.
Southwest Airlines no longer includes the Boeing MAX 7 in its 2024 capacity plan. Without visibility of when the type will be certified by the FAA, all 27 aircraft that are in the contractual order book have been removed from future operations, Southwest said on Thursday in its FY23 earnings release.

American Airlines reported record-high revenues of $53 billion and a $822 million net profit for 2023. This compares to $127 million in 2022 and is $1.9 billion without special items and corresponds with a 5.7 percent operating margin. The numbers al lower than those reported by Delta and United Airlines.
Airbus guides to “around 800” commercial deliveries for 2024, up from 735 aircraft in 2023. While supply chain constraints impose limitations, the airframer thinks it has found a “sweet spot” between what suppliers can handle and what Airbus requires. FY24 deliveries will include the first A321XLRs, although Airbus said today that entry into service will slip by one quarter to Q3.
