Iceland’s decision to open its borders to vaccinated travelers is prompting the carrier to launch a new route to the country in May, as well as resuming two other services.
The carriers have launched the first phase of their Northeast-focused alliance, which includes more than 30 new routes, almost 80 codeshares and aligned schedules in key markets.
CEO Scott Kirby has confirmed the airline plans to return to New York John F Kennedy next year and compete aggressively on routes to the US West Coast.
Routes analyzes some of the services returning as well as new routes being launched. This week we look at the latest route being opened by Eastern Airways; Jazeera Airways’ plans to enter the Bangladesh market; and United Airlines’ restoration of a service to Germany.
