Primera Air- the small airline is planning to launch low-cost flights to London-Stansted in May and Paris-Charles de Gaulle in June. The airline was planning to start the route using the A321neo and A321LR, but due to delays with the aircraft production the airline will not be able to launch the route using the A321neo, as a result, the airline will wet-lease Boeing 757s to operate the route instead, until the A321neos are delivered and launch service with the carrier. The route will be flown with the Boeing 757 from May 18, 2018, on the inaugural flight until May 28, 2018, when the airline plans to transition to the A321neo. I cannot wait to see the airline in Boston! Sources: airlinegeeks.com routesonline.com
The New York Times released a very interesting article about why Boston was able to cope with the January Bomb Cyclone significantly better than JFK Airport. Boston handled it relatively well with delays and cancelations one day and being on a regular schedule the next, while JFK was struggling with more and more flights being delayed for several days.
El Al Airlines, which flies three times weekly from Boston to Tel Aviv, has announced an aircraft change for the route. The airline currently operates a Boeing 777-200ER on the route, however, as of December 15, 2019, the airline will use the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on the route instead. This represents a decrease in capacity between the two cities, as the Boeing 777-200ER has 279 seats, as opposed to the Boeing 787-8's 238 seats. Source: www.routesonline.com
