Only two years after launching its long-haul operation, Norwegian will now be the largest foreign airline at New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport in terms of number of routes as it continues to grow its capacity from the US, a market it now serves with 31 direct routes from Europe, and now the Caribbean.
The aircraft will be delivered to WOW air in mid-March in a single-class 200-seat configuration. They will enter into service on the airline’s new routes between Reykjavik and the United States, with flights to Boston beginning on March 27, 2015 and to Washington DC on May 8, 2015.
The Icelandic carrier plans to extend its Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport flight schedule, operating services between BWI and Reykjavik a month earlier than planned.
At Routesonline we’ve decided to take a look back at a breaking article from the same time last year and revisit it 12 months later to see what’s happened since we released the news.
The proposed new route is due to launch on March 7, 2015 and Southwest Airlines has initially opened reservations for the first month of operations through to April 6, 2015. According to Southwest it anticipates strong point-to-point flows on the first-ever non-stop service on this routing but will also facilitate connections with 17 additional cities in the US via its Baltimore/Washington base.
