Interesting review of new routes over the past 12 months. These Were the Biggest New Airline Routes Launched in 2017 Some 2018 routes have been well-publicised. Expecting more announcements during the course of the year.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere on here yet. Apparently Jetgo are going to start flying from Brisbane to Singapore next year via Karratha (of all places!) using Embraer E175s. An interesting move that I certainly would not have predicted. I wonder if this route will work for them? I'd be...

Cathay Pacific To Launch First Non-stop Flight Between Hong Kong And Washington D.C. Not clear when it will commence though.

I guess there may not be a lot of people on the forum that fly to Taree, but on the local news in the last few days there have been press releases for Rex ending the flights & Fly Pelican taking over in Jan 2018. Taree seems to struggle to maintain a service-I remember when we first moved to...

Our friends over at Australian Business Traveler reported yesterday on the possible timing. Noting though, that the reality may likely depend on current flight limitations between Qatar and Australia being lifted. And no word if it would be a "direct" or "add-on" sector. Australia opened an...

PX are commencing TSV-POM from late March 2017. (The price looks reasonable as well).

Norwegian Air Shuttle will launch flights between the USA and the UK using new Boeing 737MAX aircraft. Airfares will reportedly start from $69, and flights will operate out of a "secondary" airport in New York - not JFK. I won't be jumping to book one of these flights, but an interesting...
