As part of its strategy, United has entered into two separate transactions with Delta Air Lines for its US rival to acquire United’s JFK slots and for it to purchase slots from Delta in Newark. Each transaction is subject to regulatory approval which is far from guaranteed as United had previously been forced to give up 36 slots at Newark as part of its merger with Continental Airlines by US regulators.

With effect from August 27, 2015, Elite Airways will introduce links to Northern Colorado's Fort Collins-Loveland Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport. It will be only the third operator at Rockford International and will complement the leisure flights of Allegiant Air to Fort Myers/Punta Gorda, Las Vegas McCarran International, Orlando Sanford, Phoenix Mesa Gateway and St. Petersburg/Clearwater and the flights of tour operator Apple Vacations.

US major United Airlines is to switch its remaining transatlantic flights to Scandinavia to a seasonal offering after dropping winter services from its Newark Liberty International Airport hub to both Oslo and Stockholm from the start of September this year through to May 2016. The two routes are flown using Boeing 757-200 equipment on an up to daily basis.

The airline plans to introduce a twice weekly service on the route from June 11, 2015 with Airbus A320 rotations every Thursday and Sunday. Grenada will be JetBlue's 90th destination and its 32nd destination in the Caribbean and Latin America.

A communication last month from La Compagnie suggests that Luton Airport will host its new Transatlantic link between London and Newark, the airport's first regular flight to the United States since 2008. In a newsletter to subscribers confirming plans to open reservations this week, the carrier mentioned the use of the Bedfordshire airport.

The confirmation of the new route follows years of discussions between the management of Newcastle International Airport and various US partners to establish a scheduled westbound long-haul link to the US to support its highly successful Emirates Airline flight to Dubai.

United began operations in Costa Rica in 1990 and from December 19, 2014 will offer 64 weekly non-stop services between San Jose Juan Santamaría International Airport and four United US hubs (Houston, Newark, Chicago and Washington Dulles) and between Liberia International Airport and Chicago, Houston and Newark.

Despite limited current connectivity to and from Curaçao, the US actually overtook the Netherlands and Venezuela as the largest source/destination market for the country in 2013 with around 265,000 bi-directional passengers; an 18.3 per cent demand share, up from just 9.1 per cent in 2008.

The launch of the route has been supported by aviation consultancy ASM, part of UBM Live, which highlighted the opportunity to serve the Guyana – New York market to the US operator and brokered the deal on behalf of Cheddi Jagan International Airport.

The company, which made a formal licence application to the US Department of Transportation (DOT) in April 2014, will follow in the footsteps of L’Avion and Open Skies in offering a product tailored to the premium market from the Parisian capital using Boeing 757-200 equipment.
