United Airlines will extend its summer seasonal service between Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Edinburgh Airport (EDI) to Jan. 5, 2006. The Star Alliance carrier had planned to end the service for the season on Oct. 25. United will cut the service back from daily to 5X-weekly from Oct. 26 through Jan. 5. After a short break, the IAD-EDI route will then be restarted on Feb. 20, 2026. United will fly 5X-weekly on the route from Feb. 20 through March 29, and then bump the service back up to daily. The IAD-EDI route is flown with a Boeing 757-200 aircraft configured to carry 176 passengers, including 16 in business class.
IndiGo said it will have to temporarily suspend two routes from New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) because of Pakistan’s airspace being closed to Indian airlines. The carrier is adjusting flightpaths on around 50 international routes owing to the airspace closure, forced to add flight time on many of its services. It said two routes from DEL cannot be operated under the circumstances. Flights between DEL and Almaty, Kazakhstan, will be suspended until at least May 7. Service between DEL and Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will also be suspended at least through May 7. Indigo said it had “limited rerouting options” to the two cities. “Unfortunately, Almaty and Tashkent are outside the operational range of IndiGo’s current fleet,” the airline said.
Delta Air Lines will open service between San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) in California and Las Vegas from May 7. The airline is resuming the route after a five-year absence. Regional carrier SkyWest Airlines will operate the service daily under contract with Delta using an Embraer 175 aircraft. Delta will also operate seasonal service service between SJC and Detroit. That route will be flown daily with a Boeing 737 from July 7 through Nov. 30.
Dutch LCC Transavia said it will add four new routes for its northern hemisphere winter season offering to be operated from November 2025 through March 2026. The carrier will serve two new destinations from Amsterdam: Marsa Alam, Egypt, and Rabat, Morocco. The airline, a KLM subsidiary, will also operate flights between Brussels and Agadir, Morocco. Transavia will additionally fly between Rotterdam and Seville, Spain, for the winter season.
