@ByERussell This is big: European ULCC Wizz Air, whose biz model is built on rapid growth, plans NO growth in its 2025 fiscal year. This is thanks primarily to Pratt's GTF issues.
@ByERussell The 737 Max 9 grounding affected roughly a third of @AlaskaAir 's January capacity, CEO Ben Minicucci says. The airline also expects a reduction in full year capacity due to delivery delays related to the grounding. $ALK.
@ByERussell Alaska is scheduled to receive 23 mainline aircraft this year — 16 Max 9s and 7 Max 8s — but delays will likely mean the actual number will be lower, CFO Shane Tackett says. As a result, Alaska anticipates full year capacity to come in at or below its 3-5% growth forecast. $ALK.
