Routes

Air India is temporarily suspending some routes and reducing service on others as it carries out inspections of Boeing’s 787s and 777s in the wake of a deadly crash.

These suspensions add to a growing list of airlines adjusting operations amid airspace restrictions and security advisories in the Middle East.

Now owned by the Alaska Air Group, the carrier is connecting Seattle and Anchorage during the summer months with Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

On Monday, the airline operated its first scheduled flight from its Freetown hub to the British capital, London. This is its first intercontinental route.

Cathay Pacific is set to expand its operations in the United States later this year with more flights on a three-month-old route.

Under the scope of an agreement yet to be finalized, Airlink will grow its current fleet, comprising of 68 aircraft, with the new jets.

According to ATR, the -600 series aircraft will allow JSX to access more than 1,000 additional airports in the U.S. traditionally served by private aircraft.

The airport will now offer service to all of United’s mainland U.S. hubs, including Chicago O’Hare, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, and Newark.

The airline’s CEO says it will park some older Airbus A320 aircraft and suspend more routes as travel demand continues to lag.

The renewed suspensions follow the June 2025 escalation in regional conflict, including missile and drone attacks between Israel and Iran.
