Hi there. We start off this week with quite a number of new routes in an attempt to keep YOU updated. We will look into the new services very briefly as the sheer quantity does not allow us to go into the details.
One year ago Allegiant moved 10 of its routes from Orlando Sanford International Airport to Orlando International Airport but now announced the homecoming of all ten routes in a bid to consolidate its all Orlando flights. The routes in question are e.g. Orlando Sanford – Allentown, Orlando Sanford – Des Moines or Orlando Sanford – Lexington. By now the return of all the routes should be accomplished.
While Allegiant is reshuffling the existing routes, Skyways is growing big time. Following the merger with Avia Express and a shift in ownership, this Swedish-based low-cost airline is adding six new international destinations and one domestic destination to its route network. The carriers new base becomes Airport Jönköping. The change will be marked by the opening of new services from Jönköping to Brussels and from Jönköping to Berlin Tegel.

The Doha-based Qatar Airways strengthens its position on the Vietnamese market by both increasing the frequency of the existing services and opening new connections.
The new scheduled service connects Doha and Hanoi whereas the number of flights to Airport Tansonnhat International has been increased. It can be mentioned that Qatar is the solely
5-star airline to fly on these routes.
The number of flights Qatar Airways operates to Vietnam is now three times bigger than before which reflects the ever increasing interest in this Asian country as both a tourist destination and a business partner as well as the strengthening of the relationship between the two countries.
The ambitions on the part of Qatar Airway reach further than that – the number of destinations served by this carrier is due to increase to 120 by 2013.
