Wonder if BOS can get Air China and Air India next...

Air China very doubtful given they won't be able to get the authority to run Beijing to Boston or Shanghai to Boston.
Primera Air will be adding 4 weekly Brussels to Boston next summer and its on 737 MAX 9 aircraft not the A321neo.

Really interesting. I'd love to learn more about their strategy as I'm not sure what they're looking at in terms of a target demo. It could just be that Brussels is one of the largest unserved cities (for Boston, anyway - DC and NY have direct flights) in Western Europe. But it's not the leisure destination London or Paris is, nor is the narrow body low cost carrier going to appeal to business travelers who would likely prefer to connect over a direct on a 737.
Should be though, great tourism destination

Air India is also pretty doubtful, imo. If they came in Emirates and Qatar would take a big hit. Doubt the market is large enough to handle the capacity.

I am not sure about their strategy. I think the largest unserved Western European tourist destination from Boston is Vienna.
Vienna might be too far for a narrow body.
Id also say that Athens is a big unserved city. Both for tourism and ethnic travel.
Athens is largest unserved European City by far - Almost 70K passengers a year but its so much further away than everything else. Milan has to be a distant number 2.
Yah i'd expect either Jetblue or Norwegian to serve this route once the A321LR's get delivered. Norwegian has 30 orders for A321LR's. Jetblue has the option to order some, although they haven't done anything regarding Trans-Atlantic.
