Norse Atlantic has loaded Boston - London Gatwick starting 9/2/23.
5 weekly. No flights on Tuesday and Sunday.
I could not find a press release yet. It was reported on the airliners Boston thread.
I went through Heathrow too but started with Virgin Atlantic. They are still partnered with Singapore Airlines.
If price is not an issue, Japan Airlines has the best connection. Layovers are not too long and not too short. Qatar's offering is good too. Emirates has longer layovers and Korean...

JetBlue is asking the US DOT to force KLM to give up two Amsterdam slot pairs to launch both Boston and JFK. They feel that the Netherlands is being anticompetitve by denying JetBlue the use of unused slot pairs from Aeroflot and FlyBe. They requested these last Fall with the hope of launching...
Delta increasing Boston-Austin to 3x daily on July 10th.

I couldn't believe it so I pulled up the DOT filing and confirmed.
Go to regulations.gov and pull up DOT-OST-2020-0052-0102. That is Hainan's filing with DOT about the flight reinstatements.
Both Beijing and Shanghai will be three weekly 787 (unclear if 788 or 789). Beijing Mon/Wed/Fri and...
Like the Norse one it's wait until it is loaded but man the clock is ticking for LOT. You would want this loaded by February 1 for a hypothetical June start though I recall TAP announcing around January-ish.
TF Green's catchment is larger for starters - Pulls from South Shore, South Coast, Cape Cod, Greater Worcester, Eastern Connecticut. Another airport Northeast of Manchester NH is competitor for its catchment: Portland International Jetport.
Boston.com article on Avianca mentions plans to return to Boston-San Salvador. This will be announced soon.

DOT Table 6 Most recent quarter is Q2 CY2022. It also gives you market leader, cheapest airlines, average fare and more for particular city-pairs. You divide the passenger counts by two to get the PDEW - Passenger departing each way statistic. Note that Boston includes Providence, Worcester...
Avianca to restart Boston-Bogota on late March. 5 weekly A320neo.
Schedule is very strange: sometimes a red eye, sometimes a morning flight, and sometimes an late afternoon flight depending on the day of the week.
4 days a week it connects well to Bogota-Belo Horizonte. I wonder if it's...
Omaha-Boston could happen BUT it may be too long of a route. It's about the same distance as Boston to South Florida but wind factors in off season.
81 people each way per day travelled the route in Q2 this year.
It's not that far fetched for Delta or American to try an E-175. United flies a...
Strange that it is Sat/Sun service. Why not do Wed/Sat or Thurs/Sun????
It will be interesting to see what JetBlue does with Myrtle Beach after Spirit merger. I'm sure Boston/NYC/Florida will be kept.
Lots of Christmas additions by DL.
Adding daily Louisville and Memphis. ILM is 2 weekly. Returning to Traverse City and Myrtle Beach for summer too.
I'm shocked they are not even considering Greenville SC or Birmingham AL.
Porter to launch a once daily Boston-Ottawa flight on the Dash-8. Start date 3/27/23.

JetBlue to reattempt Boston-Vancouver seasonally this summer. Air Canada recently trimmed the length of their seasonal service on the route.
American Airlines adding another frequency to Boston-Louisville.
Would have been interesting for American to try Boston-Greenville SC.
Not clear from...
Though NYC and Boston have seven carriers it is more like 5 since DL/VS and BA/AA are "one carrier" across the Atlantic.
In my opinion, this may push B6 towards AMS over DUB for European market #3 if they get slots at Schiphol.
Norse Atlantic Airways aka Norwegian 2.0 plans to launch Boston-London Gatwick and Boston-Dublin in Summer 2023. Nothing is loaded as of yet so no idea about frequencies.
