Norwegian Airlines Potential Route to Boston from Rome

I love trying to find potential new routes that could come to Boston Logan Airport before they are announced publicly. Recently, while looking through the Massachusetts Port Authority September Board Meeting released online, on slide 10, the slide about "New and Expanded Service at Logan", under "Expanded Service" it listed "Norwegian Airlines-Rome (March 2019)". As of yet there has not been any official announcement from either Massport or the airline, but clearly, Norwegian Airlines is considering adding this route at one point or another. I do not doubt that we will see this route in the future, however, I do doubt that the airline will begin service to Rome in March 2019, considering the route has not been announced yet.

Delta Making Flights to Aruba Year-Round

Almost half a year has passed since Delta Air Lines started the seasonal route from Boston to Aruba. The airline has announced the intentions to make this route year-round, not just seasonally, as planned originally. Delta flies the route once a week, on Saturday, on a Boeing 737-900. Although it is great to see Delta switching the service to year-round, I really hope that the airline will add another weekly frequency, because, at the moment, it just seems uncompetitive compared to JetBlue's 12 weekly flights.

Delta Flight Encounters Drone Near Boston

A Delta Connection flight from Philadelphia to Boston encountered an "unmanned aircraft" on its approach to Boston. The "unmanned aircraft" turned out to be a drone, but luckily the plane was not hit and landed safely. The FAA and Massachusetts State Police will be investigating this recent incident. Drone strikes are more damaging than birdstrikes to planes, and with the surging popularity of drones, this type of incident is becoming more and more common, unfortunately. Please make sure you abide by all rules when flying a personal drone, so as to not cause any damage to other people. Source:  thepointsguy.com
