Airbus delivered 56 commercial aircraft to customers in April, bringing the total for the year's first four months to 192. April deliveries included 27 A321neos, 15 A320neos, one A319neo and seven A220s, data from the European airframer shows. It delivered six widebodies: three A350-900s, one A350-1000 and two A330-900s. In the course of the month Airbus received orders for 11 commercial aircraft, comprising an A321neo for an undisclosed customer and 10 A350-1000s for China Airlines. The China Airlines order had been disclosed on 30 March. No orders were deleted from Airbus's backlog in April.

Sun Country Airlines has postponed the induction of a Boeing 737-900 until later in 2025 due to a "temporary surplus" in its passenger fleet. That aircraft will be joined by a second in the second quarter of 2025, according to the Minneapolis-based carrier's chief executive Jude Bricker. "Even with this deferral, we'll experience some unit cost pressures associated with lower utilisation of our passenger fleet until we're able to catch up our staffing to our fleet which should occur around the second quarter of '26," he said during the company's first-quarter earnings call held 2 May. Sun Country has also decided to retire one of its "older" Boeing 737-800s. This, Bricker says, will help the carrier "alleviate some of the tightness we're experiencing in the NG components market". According to fleets data, Sun Country has an in-service and stored fleet of 60 aircraft, of which 59 are 737-800s and one, bearing MSN 40069, is a 737-900. The -900, which is listed as being in storage, is owned and managed by Sun Country. AerCap manages 17 -800s for Sun Country, CDB Aviation manages two, Jackson Square Aviation manages four, SMBC Aviation Capital manages two, and World Star Aviation manages one. The rest are owned and managed by the airline. The 15 oldest -800s in Sun Country's fleet are either managed by AerCap or the airline itself.

Canadian carrier WestJet has suspended scheduled services between Vancouver and Austin, citing a "downward shift in demand for US travel". Despite what it describes as a "difficult decision" in a statement, the airline says it "remains committed to serving Austin via its global hub in Calgary, Alberta, and will review opportunities to serve Austin directly from Vancouver in the future". Data shows WestJet has scheduled 28 flights and 4,740 seats between Calgary and Austin in June 2025. The flights between Vancouver and Austin had been set to launch on 11 May, operating three times per week and would have seen WestJet operate up to 93 weekly services from Vancouver to US destinations during the northern summer, according to an announcement by WestJet in November 2024. Demand for travel between the US and Canada, as well as between the US and other international destinations, has been falling amid concerns about heightened border scrutiny and the political climate under the administration of US president Donald Trump.
