Scarce aircraft, doubled fuel costs and Spirit’s exit have handed US airlines pricing power not seen since 2022. Data from a Cirium and Bloomberg Intelligence webinar shows who used it, who could not, and what changes when fuel eases.

Etihad and British Airways published winter launches on the same day. Etihad led with its A380 cabins in Bangkok, BA with destinations and seasonal events.

Three October announcements – new A380 cabins, a major Heathrow lounge, and a Sri Lankan menu for the relaunched Colombo route – add up to more than routine airline PR.
