Ottawa (YOW) - London Heathrow (LHR). Two G7 capitals that are still not being served by direct air travel. AF proved that YOW can sucessfully sustain EU bound traffic in the post-COVID world, so it's pretty wild that AC hasn't yet reinstated the YOW-LHR flight yet.
Surprisingly, not a single scheduled direct flight between South Africa and India exists now (in the past SAA and Jet Airways used to connect Jo'burg and Mumbai).
MNL-ORD I know of a good filipino presence here in chicago, plus it's centrally located in the US to make connecting a little easier, and every time I've been in the middle of a connecting ORD-X-MNL, I've always seen plenty of people connecting onward with me
MNL-ATL would be great to for floridians and georgian filipinos i dont think the a350-1000 pal is getting can reach miami so atlanta would be a better option
@aviationandmemes1627 you are correct however if you want better service should be using the five star Korean Air Service assuming you own DL Skymiles 🇺🇲 KE Skypass🇰🇷. PR A350-1000 needs to be the ULR variant to do deeper MNL Eastern Time Zone routes. 5-20 years ago this was done as a KE/NW route after the 2009-2010 merger of DL and NWA this became KE/DL route MNL-ATL.
@@EpicThe112 ive used KE once in 2014 from ATL-MNL i just wish that Delta or PAL could have a straight flight without stopping and i believe it would work since florida and georgia have a decent sized filipino population PAL did metion that they are trying to reach more destinations in the east coast of the us so i do believe atlanta could be one of the next destinations for PAL
Miami to Reykjavík! Reykjavik has become a popular destination for South Floridians, yet there are no nonstop flights to Iceland. Only Icelander and Air Canada has routes from East US but none from US carriers. I had to fly from Miami to Newark; Newark to Toronto; Toronto to Reykjavík two weeks ago. Although there are flights from Newark and JFK, most flights are full… MIA to KEF is a route that has a lot of untapped potential.
@@johniii8147 ok, Delta does, my mistake! Yet, I have to connect in JFK, BOS, or another city from Miami in order to reach my desired destination…the question was: What non-stop potential routes would be profitable for airlines.
Toronto - Kingston Jamaica is very under serviced given the large Jamaican population in Toronto also Toronto - Ludhiana/Amritsar could be very profitable for a smaller airline.
Florida has no direct passenger flights to eastern Asia. While hundreds of daily flights to major hubs in the US mean easy one-stop connections to major cities, a non-stop flight from Orlando or Miami to a hub in Asia should be profitable as it would allow one-stop flights to many secondary cities across Asia.
Tokyo - Sao Paulo, Brazil as many Brazilians of Japanese descent travel back and forth the two cities. Unfortunately, there is currently no plane that can fly that route non-stop.
It used to be served via Los Angeles until US government started to demand transit visas for everyone flying through the US, even those without leaving the plane.
@@gteixeira JAL also served the Brazilian city after a stopover in NY. The airline flew 747s on that route, so apparently it wasn't making money toward the end. Now many Brazilian Japanese fly through Dubai, Doha and other airports in the Middle East.
5 years ago on my Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa to Tokyo NRT I sat next to a group of Japanese junior high students & their soccer coaches coming back from Brazil (forgot which airport). Quick search & I'm not sure if that route is operating now.
SFO/SJC/BOS/SEA direct to NWA (Bentonville/Fayetteville). There used to be non-stops before the pandemics. Tons of business travels to the HQ of Walmart. If you want to sell to them, and they sell more than anyone in terms of $, by far, you need to go call on them.
PSP-HNL and PSP-OGG Honolulu and Maui are extremely popular amongst Californians and Washingtonians, and a lot of people that would frequent HNL or OGG moved to Palm Springs from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle in recent years. This would also make a sizeable year round market since PSP area residents need a good flight to escape the summer heat (which can reach up to 115 degrees or more).
London to Honolulu may start once Hawaiian Airlines gets their 787-9's. It could be operated as a winter route between November and March from London Heathrow or Gatwick.
Hawaiian has long had aspirations to fly to Europe, I believe like the others that in the next few years, they receive their 787s next year, we'll see them launch Honolulu to London.
Low cost carriers like Breeze have really focus on these types of markets that have demand but no direct service, and Avelo has done the same as far as domestic service goes
I have 3 suggestions: 1: LAS - DXB I think this would be a good route because Las Vegas is getting more popular as it has a good nightlife and loads of activities and it’s quite similar to Dubai on how modern it is. 2: LHR - CGK A lot of Brits like to go on holiday to Indonesia and especially its capital, Jakarta, it’s also a place to fly to before going to Borneo which is an extremely popular tourist destination especially among Brits. 3: KBP - DEN The reason for this is because there is a large Ukrainian Diaspora in the USA, especially in Denver, there are many Ukrainians there. I think it would be a good idea for UIA to operate this flight (after the war obviously) using their 777-300’s that will be delivered after the war. Also, the USA is a very popular tourist destination for many Europeans and especially Ukrainians. (I also recommend these flights could be flown vice versa as well)
Bucharest to New York is a market which disappeared in the early 2010s after delta removed their 767-300ER service. TAROM previously flew on that route using A310s until 2003 when it was closed due to unprofitability. However given Romania’s growth since then it’s not impossible for a route like this to start once again. Travellers on this route must currently fly TAROM or AFKLM to CDG-AMS to connect with AFKLM or Delta. And otherwise can take Lufthansa Group airlines.
Ottawa (YOW) lost all its European flights during Covid and they never came back. Air Canada retired their 767s that were being used on the routes. Air France has since added summer service to CDG. One would think there would be enough demand for Canada's capital city and a population of over 1 million, to have direct flights to Europe. Maybe when Air Canada starts taking delivery of their A321-XLRs they might be used on those routes.
Ottawa - London Heathrow is probably the one that hurt the most when it was canceled. Two G7 capitals with deep historic, political and cultural routs not being served by direct air routes is pretty wild. Perhaps this could be an opportunity for BA to get in before AC and codeshare with Porter Airlines and their new hub in Ottawa. Or Air Transat could bridge this gap by offering flights to Gatwick instead with their A321LRs. But I completely agree, I think AC is waiting on its XLRs to re-open YOW to the European market. Frankfurt and London are the two likely cities to see service on the XLRs, perhaps with Paris CDG, Dublin, or Amsterdam as a seasonal route.
@@AirShark95 Sadly I think the range of Porter's E2s comes up just short to be able to offer direct non-stop from YOW to LHR. May have to get out and push for the last couple hundred kilometres.
Sao Paolo (GRU) - JNB is still not served despite commitments from both LATAM and SAA. The only flight from Southern Africa to the entire continent of South America is LAD - GRU and that flight is already busy with all the connections to South Africa.
@@gteixeira I was recently at a conference in Cpt with several Brazilians. Their travel agent all sent them here via Doha as the Ethiopian connections never work and I think a few of the Brazilian travel agents are a tad hesitant to send customers over on TAAG.
@@gteixeira TAAG uses a wet-leased Hi-Fly A330 for their Lisbon flight. Their B777 used to be allowed to fly to Lisbon despite the EU blacklist as it doesn't fly over any European airspace before it's approach over the Atlantic to land there. Wet-leases were also needed for their recently opened Madrid flight.
LGW to FNC is underserved with only one scheduled direct service -Easy Jet and TUI a Charter . Its a highly profitable route which I have been a regular traveller on since 1995 : BA only serve the Premium Island of Madeira from LHR rather than LGW as was the case prior to Covid . TAP only fly with a stop and a plane change now but it was once direct..
@@waltjieSAA can’t make money on 95% of their few routes left due to their corrupt management. They barely have a fleet (all of it is old and leased instead of outright owned which would’ve made it less loss making) and don’t even represent more than 20% of the destinations of all airlines offered from Johannesburg which is a hugely embarrassing for a supposed flag carrier
Dallas to Delhi, Dallas to Mumbai, Dallas to Bangalore, DFW could make enormous use of nonstop flights to India! DFW is one of the largest Indian immigrant destinations in the US. There are an estimated 235,000 Indian people in DFW and most of them make plenty of money to afford travel to India.
Here in Hungary we also waiting since the end of Covid for a PHL - or JFK - or MIA - BUD and YYZ - BUD flight. Hope next year one of the big US and Canadian carrier will bring back a direct flight between America and Hungary.
How about this London to st. Helena via Istanbul this mission can be done with the a330neo 800 since the runway can handle a plane like that if anybody knows anything about if it can handle it let me know but at the big point this wouldn't be a bad thing because the British people can fly to Istanbul then fly to Saint Helena with the a330neo 800 the pilots would need additional training due to the weather in st. Helena but due to the cockpit commonality I think it wouldn't be a big issue with the right pilots and the right cabin crew and the Airbus a330neo 800 I think İstanbul airport to Saint Helena would be a good route
LHE-BCN and ORY-LHE, because of a ban on Pakistani careers, ME3 are minting money with 1 stop of 12 to 23 hours without offering food or accommodation to passengers. A3 or PC can sweep these routes only by reducing transit time, or even W6 can also be a contender.
Surprised that no one else has jumped on the Edinburgh- Dubai route. Qatar Airways operates a twice daily 788 Dreamliner out of Edinburgh on the Doha route. Clearly there is a market from Edinburgh ( which is Scotlands busiest airport ) to the Middle East.
Athens-Johannesburg ? As a Greek I know quite a lot of people who have travelled between the cities, mostly because there is a sizeable Greek diaspora in south Africa
I would like to see Cebu to San Francisco. I feel flights from Manila to most of America are already saturated. In addition, there is lacking reprocity from Philippine and American carriers. Still, I would like to see more open up on the Philippines airports besides just NAIA opening up another terminal while they all share the same runways which is adding to congestion.
Tokyo-Sao Paulo is quite too far for most planes, but they need better connections. 3 feasible airports in the west for the stopover are Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Phoenix
I think a Santiago to Frankfurt with an A350-900 or 1000 could be a good option and seasonal flight between iceland and luxembourg and the baltic states and luxembourg
Surabaya-Sydney, Surabaya-Perth, and Surabaya-Brisbane. Because of how many Indonesians, especially east javanese who lived, work or had business there and vice versa.
Phnom Penh to Tokyo would be a great route for an airline like Japan Airlines to fly since it would make tourism easier between Cambodia and Japan, and allow for better connection from Phnom Penh through Tokyo’s much larger airport.
JAC is too small though. It cannot fully accommodate the influx of visitors to Grand Teton and Yellowstone. However, it is unfortunate there are barely any direct flights from the east coast, only a few flights from United from EWR.
Shenzhen to nyc, Shenzhen is the third biggest city in China in terms of gdp and a massive population. It still comes as a surprise that no airline fly between these two cities
Maybe Malaysia airlines can have like from KUL-SEA because of alaska airlines will codeshare with Malaysia airlines or KUL-DFW from American airlines or KUL-JNB-GRU like in 90s or re-established old route will make profitable again
Unless if Malaysia Airlines going to privatize their company like Air India, i don't think they would want to resume unprofitable routes again. Also, KLIA is not the best airport for transit except if MAHB decide to build and expand the satellite terminal next to the empty land in order to accomodate more airlines to serve KLIA.
Still surprised MEM doesn’t have a commercial nonstop to SFO. And apparently the British love Elvis so why is there no MEM-LHR or LGW?! I know BNA has a LHR or LGW nonstop and ATL is also a short flight away but it would still be nice to get some international flights back
Dublin - São Paulo /rio , strange no direct route as Ireland holds the biggest Brazilian community outside of Portugal . I did hear a whisper last month talks with latam & the Dublin airport authority were happening but most likely a rumour
Cape Town should and can also be a new destination for some airlines. It's the tourism hub of South Africa and is the main reason so many tourists flock to South Africa. I'm thinking Qantas linking Perth or maybe even Melbourne or Sydney to Cape Town. Air India can maybe link an Indian city with Durban. Durban is after all home to the largest Indian population in the world outside of the country India itself
That might work for India but I know lots of western tourists are afraid to travel to South Africa now. Many western countries have travel advisories suggesting there is a high level of crime, power failures and that you must exercise a high level of caution.
Airlines have limited resources in planes and staff so they choose the routes that make them the most money. The routes mentioned are would probably be marginally profitable at best.
Toronto to Amritsar, Vancouver to Amritsar, Newark to Amritsar, Toronto to Ahmedabad, Newark to Ahmedabad, Los Angeles to New Delhi, Newark to Chennai and Newark to Hyderabad in India
ATL-BOM or DEL would be profitable due to the huge indian population in georgia and ATL-SGN or ATL-HAN due to the huge vietnames population but would probably require a stop in tokyo or seoul ATL-DXB isnt connected but i do believe emirates will fly this route eventually if delta would leave them alone also southeast asia and southeast us is not connected
ATL-BOM used to exist but Delta pulled out 10 months later. Delta also had a flight to Dubai until they started to moan about subsidies and then pulled out. And I’m not sure SEA can be connected nonstop because it’s like top 5 longest flights territory. However I’d expect a direct flight to India starting pretty soon as Air India tries to expand in the near future. But all the routes mentioned involve a high number of budget focused travelers and few businessmen meaning nobody would be willing to pay $2000 for an off-season flight and over $3000 if in season just to save 2-3 hours. So the only route that even makes sense currently is Dubai for a non US carrier.
@@aviationandmemes1627 really would be nice because Qatar extorts money out of some people who go to india because the US immigration system is that convoluted making it impossible to travel on most EU carriers meaning QR usually remains the fastest 1 stop option and they need some competition to knock sense into them.
Biman doesn’t have the qualifications to fly to JFK, they tried to get slots, but instead, they fly to YYZ, and interline with Air Canada for connections to US.
ORD-SIN makes sense because you are simply connecting Two Star Alliance Hubs ORD UA SIN SQ. Important thing to remember here is that a Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Star Alliance Gold members gains access to United Club ORD lounge just like how they can access EWR SFO and LAX United Clubs.
FRA-MNL European Central Bank Hub to the Philippine Financial Capital used to be LH788/789. MNL-ORD to serve the Filipino population in Illinois. This one is served by competitor KE🇰🇷 NH🇯🇵 UA🇺🇲
MNL is a low yielding market for European airlines, meaning both Rome and Frankfurt are unlikely to serve and it's not economically viable to operate nonstop flights. Also, very few European tourists visiting Philippines when compared to Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. BKK-MAN seems very likely to operate nonstop flight with TG once they delievered the widebody aircraft order because many British travellers likely to visit Thailand. Also, Bahrain to JFK is very profitable to operate with Gulf Air B787-9. QR would likely to serve TPE, given high O&D demand. Between BOM and CCU, i think it's most likely to serve between BOM and BHX once the new airport in Mumbai is complete. LHR to Kansas City is possible but we'll need to wait if BA want to serve Kansas City, possibly with B787-8.
It'll also probably get traffic from the Hyundai plant and similar others from Mexico. Although I think TIJ is actually gonna take those flights up, considering how they're gearing up their international efforts.
I have reason to believe JAL will partner with American for Phoenix and Korean will follow. Japan and American are star alliance and now that American has Phoenix as a hub there is plans for Tokyo and Seoul
IKA to YYZ, SYD, LAX, IAD, YUL, YVR, JFK, ATL, DFW, BNE, MEL, PER and probably even AKL. Obviously not possible currently for political reasons but I’d bet the first 6 (at least) will be huge moneymakers
The most profitable Route that shoukd happen is the following Glasgow to China Glasgow to Malaysia Glasgow to Singapore Edinburgh to Malaysia Edinburgh to Singapore Edinburgh to China Edinburgh to hong kong I mean wuth Glasgow and Edinburgh University majes stbse as a lot if asian tourust visut Scotland Plus more scottish routes to asia

Pyongyang to IAD would be 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Amritsar to Vancouver, chandigarh to Vancouver/Toronto
Definitely Toronto to any South African destination would be a huge hit for AC Mainline or WestJet
To far for a leasire flight.
@@johniii8147 AC Mainline has the aircraft to operate that route. From what I read, there is something in the works to make any of those routes happen
I’m pretty sure that United briefly launched IAD-JAC as seasonal service a few years ago but it didn’t last long
pretty sure everyone flying to JAC is already in a private jet... lol
here is one : Chicago - New York(optional) - Sofia (Bulgaria)
Glasgow to Auckland also Melbourne to Montreal using A350-900 ULR direct connection
Phuket - Bali
Maybe Malaysia airlines can have like from KUL-SEA because of alaska airlines will codeshare with Malaysia airlines or KUL-DFW from American airlines or KUL-JNB-GRU like in 90s or re-established old route will make profitable again
MH flew KUL/JNB/CPT/BUE...
MAS is unprofitable now, you won’t see long haul north american operations until they restructure
Unless if Malaysia Airlines going to privatize their company like Air India, i don't think they would want to resume unprofitable routes again. Also, KLIA is not the best airport for transit except if MAHB decide to build and expand the satellite terminal next to the empty land in order to accomodate more airlines to serve KLIA.
Still surprised MEM doesn’t have a commercial nonstop to SFO. And apparently the British love Elvis so why is there no MEM-LHR or LGW?! I know BNA has a LHR or LGW nonstop and ATL is also a short flight away but it would still be nice to get some international flights back
Dublin - São Paulo /rio , strange no direct route as Ireland holds the biggest Brazilian community outside of Portugal . I did hear a whisper last month talks with latam & the Dublin airport authority were happening but most likely a rumour
Cape Town should and can also be a new destination for some airlines. It's the tourism hub of South Africa and is the main reason so many tourists flock to South Africa. I'm thinking Qantas linking Perth or maybe even Melbourne or Sydney to Cape Town. Air India can maybe link an Indian city with Durban. Durban is after all home to the largest Indian population in the world outside of the country India itself
That might work for India but I know lots of western tourists are afraid to travel to South Africa now. Many western countries have travel advisories suggesting there is a high level of crime, power failures and that you must exercise a high level of caution.
Jeddah - Dakar, Barcelona - Manila, Denpasar - Paris
Airlines have limited resources in planes and staff so they choose the routes that make them the most money. The routes mentioned are would probably be marginally profitable at best.
Houston to Bangalore, Dallas to Mumbai, and Chicago to Bangalore
Toronto to Amritsar, Vancouver to Amritsar, Newark to Amritsar, Toronto to Ahmedabad, Newark to Ahmedabad, Los Angeles to New Delhi, Newark to Chennai and Newark to Hyderabad in India
ATL-BOM or DEL would be profitable due to the huge indian population in georgia and ATL-SGN or ATL-HAN due to the huge vietnames population but would probably require a stop in tokyo or seoul ATL-DXB isnt connected but i do believe emirates will fly this route eventually if delta would leave them alone also southeast asia and southeast us is not connected
ATL-BOM used to exist but Delta pulled out 10 months later. Delta also had a flight to Dubai until they started to moan about subsidies and then pulled out. And I’m not sure SEA can be connected nonstop because it’s like top 5 longest flights territory. However I’d expect a direct flight to India starting pretty soon as Air India tries to expand in the near future. But all the routes mentioned involve a high number of budget focused travelers and few businessmen meaning nobody would be willing to pay $2000 for an off-season flight and over $3000 if in season just to save 2-3 hours. So the only route that even makes sense currently is Dubai for a non US carrier.
Vietnam airlines flies from SFO to Ho Chi Minh City but no east coast
@@unknownperson3691 emirates talked about operating a DXB-ATL route multiple times i believe it will happen eventually
@@aviationandmemes1627 really would be nice because Qatar extorts money out of some people who go to india because the US immigration system is that convoluted making it impossible to travel on most EU carriers meaning QR usually remains the fastest 1 stop option and they need some competition to knock sense into them.
Chicago - Hyderabad or
San Francisco - Hyderabad
would see a lot of yield
I like the first 4 letters of the word analysis
Do you like being "taken dry"?
You are what you eat
Yeah that's what even your parents were wondering when they knew about your arrival to earth
@@Ligma-Balls-69 Of course ;)
I want to see LHR-HNL, HNL-TPE, BOG-SAT, MSY-BOG, ANC-TOKYO (HND OR NRT) AUS-BOG or finally DEN-BOG 🎉🎉
NYC to DHAKA would be a killer route! Lots of Bangladeshis in NYC.
Biman doesn’t have the qualifications to fly to JFK, they tried to get slots, but instead, they fly to YYZ, and interline with Air Canada for connections to US.
@@dagoose. I did not know that. Thank you!
Back in the '90s they operated JFK-BRU-DEL-DAC with DC 10s!
@@Hiro-eb4zx Wow had no idea!
I feel like LAS-SIN wouldn't be such a bad idea. Ans Maybe even ORD-SIN.
Just flew SIN-JFK nonstop. Brilliant aircraft, time passed by like a flash surprisingly. A flight to ORD would be a dream.
"From SIN airport to Sin City"
The flight almost sells itself.
ORD-SIN makes sense because you are simply connecting Two Star Alliance Hubs ORD UA SIN SQ. Important thing to remember here is that a Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Star Alliance Gold members gains access to United Club ORD lounge just like how they can access EWR SFO and LAX United Clubs.
FRA-MNL European Central Bank Hub to the Philippine Financial Capital used to be LH788/789.
MNL-ORD to serve the Filipino population in Illinois. This one is served by competitor KE🇰🇷 NH🇯🇵 UA🇺🇲
London Heathrow - Manila
London - Kansas City
Rome - Manila
Frankfurt - Manila
Bahrain - New York
Bangkok - Manchester
Doha - Taipei
Birmingham - Mumbai or Kolkata
MNL is a low yielding market for European airlines, meaning both Rome and Frankfurt are unlikely to serve and it's not economically viable to operate nonstop flights. Also, very few European tourists visiting Philippines when compared to Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
BKK-MAN seems very likely to operate nonstop flight with TG once they delievered the widebody aircraft order because many British travellers likely to visit Thailand.
Also, Bahrain to JFK is very profitable to operate with Gulf Air B787-9. QR would likely to serve TPE, given high O&D demand. Between BOM and CCU, i think it's most likely to serve between BOM and BHX once the new airport in Mumbai is complete. LHR to Kansas City is possible but we'll need to wait if BA want to serve Kansas City, possibly with B787-8.
Me, I'm waiting for any of the US carriers to start flying directly to WAW. Currently, only Polish Airlines flies to the US (ORD, JFK, LAX, MIA).
Most likely UA
Atlanta to Dubai shocked Emirates hasn't started it yet.
LHR-MNL AND LHR-CEB
Reno to Hawaii (all islands)
Pondicherry - Paris
Pondicherry - Dubai
The airport's runway is too short
Seoul to San Diego maybe. JAL is very successful and there are many Asians here
It'll also probably get traffic from the Hyundai plant and similar others from Mexico. Although I think TIJ is actually gonna take those flights up, considering how they're gearing up their international efforts.
I have reason to believe JAL will partner with American for Phoenix and Korean will follow. Japan and American are star alliance and now that American has Phoenix as a hub there is plans for Tokyo and Seoul
JFK to ALG, since there is a huge Algerian population in New York
Genoa to Miami and New York
Delhi-Bali
Vistara starting this November is going to made that happened
Zurich-Pyongyang?
Air koryo after stealing an a350
Time to start an airline
Harare-London
IKA to YYZ, SYD, LAX, IAD, YUL, YVR, JFK, ATL, DFW, BNE, MEL, PER and probably even AKL. Obviously not possible currently for political reasons but I’d bet the first 6 (at least) will be huge moneymakers
who the heck would want to go from Iran to Perth……
@@itz_haris3037 all the Iranian immigrants in Western Australia
The most profitable Route that shoukd happen is the following
Glasgow to China
Glasgow to Malaysia
Glasgow to Singapore
Edinburgh to Malaysia
Edinburgh to Singapore
Edinburgh to China
Edinburgh to hong kong
I mean wuth Glasgow and Edinburgh University majes stbse as a lot if asian tourust visut Scotland
Plus more scottish routes to asia
I can't see Malaysia being popular with the Scots given the Alcohol restrictions there ;-)
Kinshasa, Dakar or Abidjan --> Montreal, Lagos --> New York or Toronto
EZE-TLV? The Adolf Eichmann Express
I want to see flights from JFK/EWR to BLR
Good point, but need to wait until Air India deliver more widebody aircraft as they going into privatization transformations.
I would've said Detroit to the Middle East, but Turkish is flying that one soon
Royal Jordanian has been flying it for years.
RDU-AMS or RDU-FRA
What about Birmingham to New York.? hopefully easyJet will take it up.💗✈️🇺🇸🌍🤔🕊️
Easyjet won't operate to north america if this route happens either virgin atlantic or tui
What about Australia to Mexico
BWI-MEX
London to Melbourne directly
London to New Zealand
United SFO - BKK
BWI to CDG
Houston to:
Rome
Madrid
Milan
I wonder how many O&D demand between Houston to these destination that are currently unserved. Perhaps Cirium and OAG know that answer.
There is not a single flight from East Asia to South America!
Too long, impossible to be flown by any aircraft, even though there is a Japanese and chinese population in Brazil and Peru
Ord chicago to Colombia !!!
Direct access to Des Moines, IA from the likes 👍 of Boston, New York City, Reykjavik, Iceland 🇮🇸, London Heathrow etc.
