Where Can You Fly Right Now? The Push to Bridge the Atlantic Divide
A full reopening of aviation’s most lucrative flying routes rests with the U.S.
The lucrative North Atlantic flight corridor that links European tourism and business meccas like Paris and London with the U.S. has been starved for traffic for the past 18 months, depriving some of the world’s biggest airlines of revenue from their most profitable journeys.
Now carriers including Emirates, United Airlines Holdings Inc. and British Airways are gearing up again, with plans to boost transatlantic seat capacity by 40% collectively in the eight weeks through Aug. 23, according to data from flight tracking firm OAG.
