São Paolo - Johannesburg is big one. I was at a conference in Cape Town last week and the Brazilians were all flown there via Doha taking over 30 hours. Before the pandemic, SAA and LATAM used to fly the route 2-3 times a day. Now the only flights from Brazil to Africa are São Paolo to Luanda and Addis Ababa.
@@shakiMiki Well if you count the middle east as Asia, there are multiple flights from Doha, Dubai, and even Tehran. But even if you mean from East Asia, there is still a direct flight (You don't change planes) from Guangzhou to Caracas via Tehran.
@Oryx89 no South African wants SAA to be rescued. It was run by a criminal and girlfriend of former President Zuma. Billions were looted off of corrupt contracts and the treasury had to bail them out every time. They haven't made a profit since 2011 when they benefitted off of the increased traffic of the 2010 SWC. Before the pandemic, there was demand for 10 flights a week on SAA and a daily flight on LATAM. SAA has signalled their intention to start it when they acquire new wide bodies and LATAM has communicated flights will start in May 2023. It's the most underserved route of Southern Africa by far.
Unfortunately, the U.S. FAA downgrading of the category rating to 2 limited Thai Airways' ability to expand service and Thai (being the only carrier to provide U.S. nonstop from BKK between 2005-2012 with the gas-guzzling A340-500) was already hurting from cheaper competition (EVA/China Airlines) even if they are 1-stop. Add to the fact that no U.S. carrier (American, United, Delta) wants to tackle a low-yield destination like Bangkok. I know it's frustrating. I still don't know how Air Canada is able to provide a seasonal North America nonstop (YVR-BKK) from Vancouver via Air Canada but U.S. carriers (who are in better financial position than AC) cannot.
@@TonyW79SFV US carriers are in a better financial situation because it's all about profit making routes. When I was a director at DL in the late 2000's and the NRT hub was being dismantled, not stops from the US to BKK just didn't make financial sense given the low yields and extremely high costs to operate.
CGK-LAX is also the longest unserved direct routes. Garuda Indonesia have operating that route in the 90's with a stop in Honolulu, but the route was closed due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. I hope they can re-open that route soon.

I would say Boston or Philadelphia to eastern Europe, for those looking to avoid NYC. I'm sure LOT or Finnair could fill a plane several times a week leaving Boston.
Mid Atlantic states hubs as well. Philly, Washington DC, Charlotte to Eastern Europe. US airlines tend to fly to Eastern Europe in the summer like Croatia.
I think airlines are reluctant to use Philly bc of its proximity to New York and D.C. which are bigger tourist and business hubs. Boston gets more love since it is a lot farther from New York. However New York is notorious for having bad airports. Philly is definitely better than the likes of JFK and EWR. Also I feel like less people in Europe know about Philadelphia as a city than New York. With all that in mind, there is a reason why Philadelphia has only 5 or so international airlines compared to like 60 from New York. Also, I think that eastern Europe won't open any time soon because of the war. From Philly, I would love to see a route to Dubai or Istanbul.
There isn't that much flights between the US and eastern Europe anyway. Most people for Souheastern Europe tend to fly via Istanbul or Frankfurt. JFK's flights to Eastern Europe are Finnair to Helsinki, Delta to Prauge (Seasonal I think), LOT to Warsaw, HiFly to Bucharest, Turkish to Istanbul (Geographically Europe) and Air Serbia to Belgrade.
@@ravijammalamadaka6029 There is a sesonal United flight between Newark & Dubrovnik. Also, only Ukraine & Russia are currently at war in the area, there is even still regular flights to Moldova.
Probably, there are some political reasons. In 1992, South Korea served their diplomatic tie with Taiwan when Korean switched to PR China by marching into Taiwanese Embassy in Seoul and deported the diplomat, then gave the building with the contents to PR China. After that, the flights between S Korea and Taiwan were suspended, thence carriers based in a 3rd country (such as TG, CX, NW) were allowed to fly. Currently, TPE-ICN route is operated by both side - KE/CI, OZ/ER and etc.
Nothing really to do with the war. Just not enough business traffic to support the service. It would mostly be low yield VFR traffic on a rout that would expensive to operate.
I think this route really is a no brainer. It'd make a really good codeshare route Iberia and PAL - Iberia has no Asian presence and PAL has minimal European presence so there's a huge opportunity for both to pick up a load of one-connection routes, and the ties between Spain and the Philippines are strong, there's lots of traffic there, and it'd help open the Philippines as a tourist destination for more Europeans.
Staying on the topic of Madrid, there is also Madrid-Sydney I would love to see one day, probably one of the longest flights in the world: 17 500km , not possible with today's planes.
@@alfrredd QFs A350 Sunrise order will be capable of it - they will be operating LHR-SYD non-stop. However realistically I can't see it happening (much as I'd love it!). The Spanish community in Australia is very small, and vice versa. Though QF and IB are both in OneWorld, the connections wouldn't be particularly useful. For onward European connections, they would only really duplicate the connections already available for QF via LHR with BA (also in OneWorld). Iberia's real strength is their excellent coverage of Latin America, but for pax out of SYD, it's way more direct to fly trans-pacific on QFs rather pathetic solitary route to Latin America (Santiago de Chile), or else via LAX / DFW. The only strong advantage would be that Barajas is an infinitely better airport than Heathrow, and would give QF much more flexibility in flight timing and allow them to offer a much better transit/connection experience for pax travelling onward to other European destinations than Heathrow can - especially as MAD is within the EU and Schengen.
Unfortunately MAD-MNL doesn't make financial sense for airlines (especially for Iberia) as MNL is largely a price-sensitive leisure/VFR market making it hardly profitable for airlines.
Let's not forget that the travel demand between Europe and The Philippines are extremely low yielding for such long haul flight. Most of European airlines are likely to serve BKK, SIN, HKG and etc. This is the reason why Philippine Airlines doesn't have a direct nonstop flights between MNL and Europe.
There used to be a route between UIO and JFK with TAME Airlines. However, due to the pandemic and company issues with the USA, TAME filed for bankruptcy, and deceased all its national and international routes. Hopefully other airlines have more access from UIO to JFK/EWR. We’ll see.
The Ecuadorian government would be very smart to work with airlines to establish direct routes to more US cities, particularly New York and Chicago. Given the unique attractions available there, the affordability of hotels, ground transportation and attractions, their use of the US dollar, and being closer to most of the US than Europe, Ecuador has a lot of the ingredients of a mega-popular destination for US tourists. The only trouble is that it can be a real hassle to get there from the midwest or northern US because only a handful of major hubs in the south have direct flights there. Even just adding routes to JFK and O'Hare would alleviate that problem immensely.
Palm Springs (PSP) to Honolulu (HNL) is one underserved route that would see pent up demand (given the amount of people that frequent Hawaii (HNL, OGG, etc.) that have moved from San Francisco and Seattle to Palm Springs in recent years). We get a lot of people flying from PSP to the Aloha State that have to connect, so a PSP-HNL flight would be a game changer for those going to Hawaii, Asia, and Australia.
LAX - SGN would be a great expansion route for Bamboo Airlines. From a personal perspective, SFO to LIM on either LATAM or United would be very convenient. LAN and Aero Peru did serve this route in the past.
@@leftisland2603 dude Bangalore and sab Francisco is there. United it’s started direct from Bangalore to SF from march 2023, also Bangalore to Seattle by American Airlines.
I was surprised to find that if I wanted to go to New Zealand from here in Florida, one reasonable choice would be LATAM via Santiago de Chile. I should have expected that.
Pune to Frankfurt is a big one too. There is growing pressure of Lufthansa to reopen thier dierect service between Pune and Frankfurt because there are some major german companies in Pune.
i’m not sure if discontinued routes qualify for this or not, but if so, Bangkok - Barcelona/Madrid, Bangkok - JFK/LAX. these two routes would definitely be interesting to try
Previously Thai Airways was served between Bangkok and Madrid but unfortunately it's route is not economically viable and last flights on BKK to MAD was on September 2015. Same goes for Athens which is last served on November 2011. Both ATH and MAD are low yielding for TG. I don't think Thai Airways would launch new flight to Barcelona either.
MIA has taken up a lot of the Latin America traffic, even from nearby FLL. Maybe after the merger JetBlue could expand Northeast to South America/Caribbean routes.
I think ITA airways should open more routes on North America (such as Chicago, Mexico City, Montreal, Seattle and San Francisco, Toronto); Also I don’t know why but I always thought that a London-Honolulu seasonal flight by BA could be amazing😊
Quito to JFK would be a profitable route due to the number of people and cargo being served. Just as this article proves it's underserved and yet would be profitable enough to sustain a direct/nonstop flight; maybe not daily, rather intermittently like M-W-F. I travel this route a lot so stopping in panama or miami is an inconvenience. Agriculture routes like UIO-MIA generally supercede pax travel.
For Nepal a LON - KTM (Kathmandu) flight is much needed to boost tourism, one of the main source of forex for Nepal. However one the main hindrance is operational problems in KTM like congestion and security in flying in and out ! Mainly small aircrafts are suited for KTM. Would an A321XLR be OK ?
@@aseeraj But can these aircrafts take off from KTM fully loaded in fuel, passengers and freight (MTOW) for a long haul flight (e.g. KTM - LON) ? NO ! Because of ALTITUDE (+ Heat) ! KTM is at 1,338 m / 4,390 ft ! KTM - Doha (DOH - Qatar) is not a long haul flight ! It doesn't need full fuel load !
@@mathuringarcier You are talking of IST - KTM flights ! What about KTM - IST flight ? Do they take off fully loaded (MTOW) ? Do they stop en route yo refuel ?
@@StySiddhi you didn't understand my point, the flight flying from VNKT to LTFM is an A330-300. November 17th flight which is TODAY flew for 8hrs 10mis meaning it was not fully loaded, I never said it was, I'm just saying it needs a consequent amount of fuel...
One of the most important hubs in South America is SCL. Why not direct flights to Seoul, Tokio, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other major cities in Asia? Wondering if there are still flights between Chile and Australia and New Zealand?
NRT-GRU was served by JL via JFK... After OneWorld Alliance established, JL stopped flying JFK-GRU part, passing to AA. I am not sure if KE still flies ICN-LAX-GRU route, so as CA on PEK-MAD-GRU.
Bangkok - LA is a very long flight so the economics are difficult if the load factors are low. Hence Seoul and Tokyo are the best hubs for US to SE Asia.
@@stephenfienberg8765 Thai have done it long before even direct. When they buy new planes in 2025 a350 ulr could be a thing they consider, after they get their issues with the FAA sorted.
@@johniii8147 Conversely I understand that many African airlines serving SE Asia do so by flying to BKK as it has an appropriate balance between being cheaper & relatively developed (e.g. if you wanted to fly from SIN to central Africa, you'd fly to BKK 1st on SIA before boarding an Ethiopian Airlines flight)
Another unserved route that will gain a direct link: São Paulo - Los Angeles. In 2019, there were more than 150.000 passengers. When the Brazilian Real was less devalued, the number was even higher. Latam will operate 3x weekly in June 2023 with B 777-300 ER.
Miami - Córdoba Argentina; Miami - Caracas; Miami - Maracaibo; Miami - Valencia Venezuela; Los Angeles - Theran; Los Angeles - Yerevan; Los Angeles - Bangkok; Los Angeles - Ho Chi Minh City; Los Angeles - Hanoi; Los Angeles - Delhi; Los Angeles - Nagoya; Los Angeles - Busan; Los Angeles - Buenos Aires; New York - Hamburg; New York - Venice year round (low yield, ok); New York - Prague; New York - Beirut; New York - Hyderabad; New York - Lagos; New York - Fuzhou; New York - Pakistan; New York - Bangladesh; Montréal - Beirut; Lisbon - Johannesburg; Paris - Jakarta; Bogotá - Chicago; São Paulo - Sydney (maybe in 2025-2027) etc...
ALTITUDE and tropical HEAT, often combined, PRECLUDE aircrafts to take off fully loaded in fuel, freight and passengers (with MTOW) for a long haul flight. Thus : - Kathmandu (KTM) is at 1,338 m / 4,390 ft and has a table top runway, - Quito (UIO) at 2,400 m / 7,874 ft - Johannesburg (JNB) at 1,694 m/ 5,558. ft Thus Air Europa flights from UIO to Madrid and KLM to Amsterdam stop at Guyaquil (GYE) for refuelling. SAA had to keep its less profitable A340s as its 4 engines thrust was needed for its fully loaded flights to Europe to take off from JNB ! As for JNB, JNB / Durban (DUR) flights to Mumbai (BOM) are also needed and were operated by Air India (AI) and SAA (SA). Now traffic goes through Mauritius (MUR), NBO, ADD or Gulf countries. BOM - Lagos (LOS) / Accra (ACC) flights also make sens and were also operated. Even BOM - SAO flight could be profitable !
The A340's high MTOW was only needed by SAA for the their JNB-JFK flight. I flew it a few times. As it so happened, only the -600 variant could do it, the -300 needed a fuel stop in Accra or Dakar on their IAD flight's outbound leg. They could make the return leg without the stop as IAD is at sea level. SAA was managing JNB-LHR and JNB-FRA with their A330s (-200 and -300). Other airlines like Delta, Air China and Cathay easily managed 14 + hour flights from JNB in B777s (-200LR/ER/-300ER) which was the A340's major competitor.
Guangzhou to Seattle. But not only this route won’t be a reality any time soon (partially thanks to the convenience of transiting through YVR, SFO, SJC, LAX sling the west coast), the more popular Hong Kong - Seattle terminated service as well.
@@uriahlevi8640 unfortunately no. First, flight from SEA-BLR will required to overfly Russian airspace, since American Airlines doesn't have the overfly rights to use Russian airspace, this route is long overdue to begin until airspace banned is lifted. Second, the demand between SEA-BLR is only a third of SFO-BLR passenger demand, so i don't think American Airlines could make the route profitable and make their money.
I think if it wasn't for protectionism from the Canadian government this route would have been started years ago. But now it seems the relationship between Air Canada and Emirates is warming up with the new code share agreement. So this route might be allowed soon. A code share to allow US passengers to come into YUL on AC planes then fly to DXB on Emirates should work well if it allows Star Alliance members to earn points. It would scoop up a good amount of US passengers from the Northeast
@@Ahuntsicspotter There are demand between DXB to YUL as well as DXB to YVR but i wonder which of the next Canada's other cities that Emirates would likely to serve.
@Syafiq Rizuan Emirates in YUL it could happen sooner or later but between YUL and DXB there could be AC but TS can't fly that far because their fleet will not have enough gas to cover nonstop YUL and DXB.
Given that DFW is one of the busiest airports in the world in one of the fastest growing metro areas in the US (if not the world), I think it should have more nonstop international routes than it does. Disregarding for a moment that American Airlines is by far the largest airline at DFW, that the Oneworld airline alliance (to which AA belongs) would help determine which of these routes would start, geopolitics, and profitability, DFW to TPE, SGN, JNB, KEF (once served), ZRH (also once served), BOM, and CAI are just a few of the nonstop flights I'd like to see.
I would like to see Perth(Aus) Colombo(Sri Lanka) direct since Sri Lankan already providing melbourne and sydney and perth service will provide easy travel to Sri Lanka, Male Dives, and much of south Iindia.
PER - South Asia (Sri Lanka or India) is not a matter of "if" but "when". I remember a few months ago, Perth Airport CEO said in a statement that they need direct India and Sri Lanka flights from PER.
Seems like a no brainer, especially since Sri Lankan is a One World member (same as QF), so lots of potential there. Honestly though, they should consider Darwin - good size Sri Lankan community, and Darwin is begging for decent connectivity - Sri Lankan would pick up a ton of traffic connecting onwards, and the NT govt would fall over themselves to help support the route with marketing, reduced airport fees etc.
@@lmlmd2714 issue with Darwin is filling 250+ seats in A330. Once a week service when they don't operate Sydney could have potential. Even sydney get served 3 times per week( they started with 7 times per week. I think they couldn't fill the plane so reduced to 3 times). May be 5th freedom flights connecting Colombo Darwin Sydney might be feasible.
The last I remember, most if not all international flights to China's Xian-Xianyang airport involve a stopover in another city in mainland China e.g. Guangzhou, Shanghai
DVO-LAX or DVO-SFO. I want a direct flight from Davao to the West Coast of the USA without transferring other planes in Manila’s/Parañaque’s/Pasay’s notorious Airport traffic,etc. Only problem was the right aircraft, resources, and the demand of the customers for this route.
Not at all surprised that Katmandu is not connected to London and has very limited connections overall. I don't think it has anything to do with demand or passenger traffic. The point is Katmandu, Nepal, is not a normal airport. Only very specially trained pilots can perform the approach and departure from there.
A Paris(CDG) - La Nouvelle Orleans(MSY) non-stop connection is long overdue, and should be mandatory. There's no reason why that the French capital and the most French-oriented city in America should be avoiding each other.
@@purplerabbit638 Not really. French is still spoken in places in metro N.O. westbank, and southwest of the area (Houma/Thibodaux) which depends on MSY for travel. The Lafayette area has the largest French-speaking population in America, and I believe they should get a flight to France as well.
It would make more sense to have a Montreal-NOLA flight. There are more links between the French Canadians and Franco-Louisianais than with the French from France.
I would love to see the following routes out of PHL: Philadelphia-Portland, OR Philadelphia-Shanghai Philadelphia-Delhi Philadelphia-Casablanca Philadelphia-Accra Philadelphia-Tel Aviv
JL used to fly via JFK. After OneWorld Alliance was established, JFK-GRU part was passed to AA. If you see the Grate Circle route oof TYO-GRU, TYO-JFK-GRU route would not be so different.
I’m from Miami ( MIA my hometown airport) I have seen nonstop cargo flights from Miami to Seoul, South Korea several times a week so why not passengers revenue service between Miami and Asia? ( Miami-Tokyo, Miami- Seoul, Miami Taipei and so on. I know due to the jet stream those routes sometimes require technical stops and crew change
Honest feedback from a fan of the channel: stop reading out the exact distance in both km and miles. It’s tedious to listen to and feels sluggish. You should say aloud nautical miles by default (the most appropriate unit for this channel), we can read the km/miles conversions on the screen.
ANZ does it with a stop in LAX. Ultra long non stop flights with half the passenger capacity and only Premium/Business Class on that 23 hour flight would never work out of AKL as NZ doesn't have the market.
@@mel816 there's a difference between a single flight with a fuel stop like BA and QF do from LHR to SYD and Kangaroo flights where you fly LHR to SYD or AKL in 2 separate flights with a stop change in DXB/DOH/SIN.
Most of these pairs seem to be easily reachable by hubs, so the added luxury of a direct flight is not that desirable for passengers. Quito to JFK seems to stick out here or am I missing something
There are no direct non stop flights from UIO neither to JFK, nor to EWR or La Guardia. Quito UIO used to be directly connected to Chicago, LAX, Sao Paulo, Río de Janeiro, Paris, Frankfurt , Santiago de Chile, San José, Santo Domingo, San Juan. Caracas. It is sad to see that these connections don't exist anymore. UIO-Toronto / UIO-Dallas / UIO-LHR sound like a good idea. idea.
Avianca caters for a lot of this connecting traffic through their hub at Bogotá's El Dorado Airport BOG. LATAM and Avianca nothing could open nonstop services on these routes but if they haven't it's because the economics don't make financial sense
I hope that Turkish Airlines, Emirates or Qatar Airways will fly to YIA in Jogja since Jogja is a one of the Indonesia's busiest tourist hub after Bali. And also i hope that these 3 airline could fly direct to Suriname since there are many Javanese people who lived there so they can connect to their hometown in Indonesia.
i want direct flights from GOLD COAST AUSTRALIA -OOL- to CRK Clark in Philippines both airports are established hubs and could easily accommodate a bi weekly service
Miami to China or Japan (any city, direct) and Orlando to China or Japan (any city, direct) do NOT exist. MIA was trying to get an airline to fly direct from China to boost tourism. It was a “big deal” for MIA when Turkish Airlines began flying MIA to Istanbul, a route I’ve flown! And when I flew from Orlando MCO to Tokyo-Haneda HND, I had to fly through SFO out and O’Hare ORD on the way back, no direct flights😢.
I think from my airport (guadalajara), there should be a route to Taipei they are a lot of taiwaneasans in the city and also to Seul, again a lot of koreans intown
Montréal to Beirut would be an interesting route, as it would be the only flight from North America that would fly there. Alot of connecting traffic Air Canada could benefit from.
Watch JetBlue take that route. They were non existent before 2021 in South America and now they are already having 2 non stop to GYE (other major Ecuadorian city) starting soon and they seem to be the preferred airline compared to Avianca.
Soon Aeromexico will begin their flights to Rome in spring 2023. Previously Alitalia was served the route before suspended indefinetly at the time of pandemic began in 2020.
Also don't forget that Heathrow is tightly slot controlled. This means that not only must a potential flight be profitable on its own, it also must be more profitable than other fights that would compete for the use of the same takeoff/landing slot.
I noticed that too, and thought for sure they would mention SFO - BOG. Regardless of which routing I take for this trip, I always see the same damn huge group of people making both legs. I wish an airline would step up!
A380 services between Minneapolis and Brisbane would be awesome, but then again I'm just biased because I live near Minneapolis and fly that route far too much in Flight Simulator 9 with a Northwest Airlines A380 lol
A lot of Asian countries are all connected Sibu to Singapore is a thing from December Sibu Airport only serves domestic flights Nedd more international flights
The one about Taipei to Jeju is interesting to me, how come there is still a Taiwan branch of tigerair even when tigerair Australia has dissolved in the pandemic, does anyone know? Also, SGN-LAX a lot of people will use it, especially people from Vietnam going to visit family in the USA or vice versa, if Vietnam Airlines or United or American could run this route it would be trendy, and would most likely pull a 777. My evidence for this is, Vietnam Airlines run an A350 flight from SGN to Sydney and Melbourne 6 days a week, and it is very successful with Vietnamese going to see family and vice versa, even low-cost Australian carrier Jetstar runs 3x a week flights from MEL and SYD to SGN, so it would definitely be popular.
That's because Tigerair Taiwan is not related to Tigerair Australia in any substantive way. Both were spin-offs of the original Tigerair brand in Singapore which is also no longer operational following its merger with Scoot. Tigerair Australia was a wholly owned subsidiary of Virgin Australia, while Tigerair Taiwan is a subsidiary of China Airlines.

Iberia's real strength is their excellent coverage of Latin America, but for pax out of SYD, it's way more direct to fly trans-pacific on QFs rather pathetic solitary route to Latin America (Santiago de Chile), or else via LAX / DFW.
The only strong advantage would be that Barajas is an infinitely better airport than Heathrow, and would give QF much more flexibility in flight timing and allow them to offer a much better transit/connection experience for pax travelling onward to other European destinations than Heathrow can - especially as MAD is within the EU and Schengen.
Unfortunately MAD-MNL doesn't make financial sense for airlines (especially for Iberia) as MNL is largely a price-sensitive leisure/VFR market making it hardly profitable for airlines.
Let's not forget that the travel demand between Europe and The Philippines are extremely low yielding for such long haul flight. Most of European airlines are likely to serve BKK, SIN, HKG and etc. This is the reason why Philippine Airlines doesn't have a direct nonstop flights between MNL and Europe.
Manila-Delhi currently no direct flights between the Philippines and India
There used to be a route between UIO and JFK with TAME Airlines. However, due to the pandemic and company issues with the USA, TAME filed for bankruptcy, and deceased all its national and international routes. Hopefully other airlines have more access from UIO to JFK/EWR. We’ll see.
The Ecuadorian government would be very smart to work with airlines to establish direct routes to more US cities, particularly New York and Chicago. Given the unique attractions available there, the affordability of hotels, ground transportation and attractions, their use of the US dollar, and being closer to most of the US than Europe, Ecuador has a lot of the ingredients of a mega-popular destination for US tourists. The only trouble is that it can be a real hassle to get there from the midwest or northern US because only a handful of major hubs in the south have direct flights there. Even just adding routes to JFK and O'Hare would alleviate that problem immensely.
Palm Springs (PSP) to Honolulu (HNL) is one underserved route that would see pent up demand (given the amount of people that frequent Hawaii (HNL, OGG, etc.) that have moved from San Francisco and Seattle to Palm Springs in recent years). We get a lot of people flying from PSP to the Aloha State that have to connect, so a PSP-HNL flight would be a game changer for those going to Hawaii, Asia, and Australia.
Chicago to Sydney is a big one. We already have flights to Sydney from LA and soon New York, why not Chicago as well?
United has a presence in Australia. They could do it but they already have flights to Sydney from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston.
Might happen with United or Qantas codeshare with American
LAX - SGN would be a great expansion route for Bamboo Airlines. From a personal perspective, SFO to LIM on either LATAM or United would be very convenient. LAN and Aero Peru did serve this route in the past.
LAX-Bombay, LAX-Karachi, LAX-Yerevan, LAX-Tehran, LAX-Baku, LAX-BKK, LAX-Bali! Need these!
The only flight between the US and Mumbai is to SFO. The other cities have no flights to the US.
@@leftisland2603 yes, you’re right…. Is it by Air India?

I was surprised to find that if I wanted to go to New Zealand from here in Florida, one reasonable choice would be LATAM via Santiago de Chile. I should have expected that.
Love LATAM to South America!
Pune to Frankfurt is a big one too. There is growing pressure of Lufthansa to reopen thier dierect service between Pune and Frankfurt because there are some major german companies in Pune.
i’m not sure if discontinued routes qualify for this or not, but if so, Bangkok - Barcelona/Madrid, Bangkok - JFK/LAX. these two routes would definitely be interesting to try
Previously Thai Airways was served between Bangkok and Madrid but unfortunately it's route is not economically viable and last flights on BKK to MAD was on September 2015. Same goes for Athens which is last served on November 2011. Both ATH and MAD are low yielding for TG. I don't think Thai Airways would launch new flight to Barcelona either.
London to Sydney seems like it'd be on this list
Phuket - Bali. Two major tourism destinations, but no direct flights.
No demand.
Wouldn't make any sense. Hence no flights. Tourists fly to one or the other from their destination, not into both
MIA has taken up a lot of the Latin America traffic, even from nearby FLL. Maybe after the merger JetBlue could expand Northeast to South America/Caribbean routes.
I think ITA airways should open more routes on North America (such as Chicago, Mexico City, Montreal, Seattle and San Francisco, Toronto); Also I don’t know why but I always thought that a London-Honolulu seasonal flight by BA could be amazing😊
ITA in Montreal not bad and it will the best alternative to Air Transat and Air Canada.
I heard ITA Airways is planning to start serving Chicago sometime around 2023 or so
Quito to JFK would be a profitable route due to the number of people and cargo being served. Just as this article proves it's underserved and yet would be profitable enough to sustain a direct/nonstop flight; maybe not daily, rather intermittently like M-W-F. I travel this route a lot so stopping in panama or miami is an inconvenience. Agriculture routes like UIO-MIA generally supercede pax travel.
Bogotá - Rome or Bogotá - Hawaii would be interesting
For Nepal a LON - KTM (Kathmandu) flight is much needed to boost tourism, one of the main source of forex for Nepal. However one the main hindrance is operational problems in KTM like congestion and security in flying in and out ! Mainly small aircrafts are suited for KTM. Would an A321XLR be OK ?
VNKT can handle 777s, 330s and 787s. Some airliners, like Qatar airways, operates 787s on a regular basis
@@aseeraj But can these aircrafts take off from KTM fully loaded in fuel, passengers and freight (MTOW) for a long haul flight (e.g. KTM - LON) ? NO ! Because of ALTITUDE (+ Heat) ! KTM is at 1,338 m / 4,390 ft !
KTM - Doha (DOH - Qatar) is not a long haul flight ! It doesn't need full fuel load !
@@StySiddhi Turkish Airlines fly there underpowered A330-300 to KTM which is an 8 hours flight, which requires a consequent load of fuel....
@@mathuringarcier You are talking of IST - KTM flights ! What about KTM - IST flight ? Do they take off fully loaded (MTOW) ? Do they stop en route yo refuel ?
@@StySiddhi you didn't understand my point, the flight flying from VNKT to LTFM is an A330-300. November 17th flight which is TODAY flew for 8hrs 10mis meaning it was not fully loaded, I never said it was, I'm just saying it needs a consequent amount of fuel...
The a321 will multiply the possibilities in this list (as well as hopefully covering many of them)
One of the most important hubs in South America is SCL. Why not direct flights to Seoul, Tokio, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other major cities in Asia? Wondering if there are still flights between Chile and Australia and New Zealand?
Mainly distance : +17000km NRT-SCL and low demand. ->not profitable.
NRT-GRU was served by JL via JFK... After OneWorld Alliance established, JL stopped flying JFK-GRU part, passing to AA.
I am not sure if KE still flies ICN-LAX-GRU route, so as CA on PEK-MAD-GRU.
London-Durban, Windhoek, Seychelles, Osaka, Denpasar, Penang, Abidjan, Zanzibar, Mombasa etc
Vancouver YVR to Spain direct would be sell out throughout the year
It's only a matter of time before LATAM re-launces UIO-JFK. The route was flown nonstop for decades before the pandemic.
I hope they do it with their new business class. I use Aeromexico on that route and only one segment is true business class
Prior to the pandemic, CLT- Rio De Janeiro used to be a decently popular route that still hasn't returned
Somewhere in the us to bangkok would be a good route
Bangkok - LA is a very long flight so the economics are difficult if the load factors are low. Hence Seoul and Tokyo are the best hubs for US to SE Asia.
Agreed
@@stephenfienberg8765 Thai have done it long before even direct. When they buy new planes in 2025 a350 ulr could be a thing they consider, after they get their issues with the FAA sorted.
Been tried. Yields too low to justify the expense the for the airline. BKK is a low yield market generally.
@@johniii8147 Conversely I understand that many African airlines serving SE Asia do so by flying to BKK as it has an appropriate balance between being cheaper & relatively developed (e.g. if you wanted to fly from SIN to central Africa, you'd fly to BKK 1st on SIA before boarding an Ethiopian Airlines flight)
maybe Bogota/Medellin to Chicago would be nice!
Another unserved route that will gain a direct link: São Paulo - Los Angeles. In 2019, there were more than 150.000 passengers. When the Brazilian Real was less devalued, the number was even higher. Latam will operate 3x weekly in June 2023 with B 777-300 ER.
Miami - Córdoba Argentina; Miami - Caracas; Miami - Maracaibo; Miami - Valencia Venezuela; Los Angeles - Theran; Los Angeles - Yerevan; Los Angeles - Bangkok; Los Angeles - Ho Chi Minh City; Los Angeles - Hanoi; Los Angeles - Delhi; Los Angeles - Nagoya; Los Angeles - Busan; Los Angeles - Buenos Aires; New York - Hamburg; New York - Venice year round (low yield, ok); New York - Prague; New York - Beirut; New York - Hyderabad; New York - Lagos; New York - Fuzhou; New York - Pakistan; New York - Bangladesh; Montréal - Beirut; Lisbon - Johannesburg; Paris - Jakarta; Bogotá - Chicago; São Paulo - Sydney (maybe in 2025-2027) etc...
ALTITUDE and tropical HEAT, often combined, PRECLUDE aircrafts to take off fully loaded in fuel, freight and passengers (with MTOW) for a long haul flight.
Thus :
- Kathmandu (KTM) is at 1,338 m / 4,390 ft and has a table top runway,
- Quito (UIO) at 2,400 m / 7,874 ft
- Johannesburg (JNB) at 1,694 m/ 5,558. ft
Thus Air Europa flights from UIO to Madrid and KLM to Amsterdam stop at Guyaquil (GYE) for refuelling.
SAA had to keep its less profitable A340s as its 4 engines thrust was needed for its fully loaded flights to Europe to take off from JNB !
As for JNB, JNB / Durban (DUR) flights to Mumbai (BOM) are also needed and were operated by Air India (AI) and SAA (SA). Now traffic goes through Mauritius (MUR), NBO, ADD or Gulf countries.
BOM - Lagos (LOS) / Accra (ACC) flights also make sens and were also operated.
Even BOM - SAO flight could be profitable !
The A340's high MTOW was only needed by SAA for the their JNB-JFK flight. I flew it a few times. As it so happened, only the -600 variant could do it, the -300 needed a fuel stop in Accra or Dakar on their IAD flight's outbound leg. They could make the return leg without the stop as IAD is at sea level. SAA was managing JNB-LHR and JNB-FRA with their A330s (-200 and -300). Other airlines like Delta, Air China and Cathay easily managed 14 + hour flights from JNB in B777s (-200LR/ER/-300ER) which was the A340's major competitor.
@@stephenfienberg8765 Thanks for this update !
Newer aircraft have rewritten the rules in some cases. Iberia flies an A350 directly from UIO to MAD every other day. The flight number is IBE6454.
Guangzhou to Seattle. But not only this route won’t be a reality any time soon (partially thanks to the convenience of transiting through YVR, SFO, SJC, LAX sling the west coast), the more popular Hong Kong - Seattle terminated service as well.
Seattle to India too
@@ihmpall AA serves Bangalore to Seattle
@@uriahlevi8640 unfortunately no. First, flight from SEA-BLR will required to overfly Russian airspace, since American Airlines doesn't have the overfly rights to use Russian airspace, this route is long overdue to begin until airspace banned is lifted. Second, the demand between SEA-BLR is only a third of SFO-BLR passenger demand, so i don't think American Airlines could make the route profitable and make their money.
YUL-DXB with EK will great and is there enough demand for a direct flight ✈️ from YUL to DXB. I know YUL-DOH is doing good.
I think if it wasn't for protectionism from the Canadian government this route would have been started years ago.
But now it seems the relationship between Air Canada and Emirates is warming up with the new code share agreement. So this route might be allowed soon.
A code share to allow US passengers to come into YUL on AC planes then fly to DXB on Emirates should work well if it allows Star Alliance members to earn points. It would scoop up a good amount of US passengers from the Northeast
@@Free-g8r Is there enough demand for a direct flight ✈️ to DXB from YUL oh yes there is.
@@Ahuntsicspotter There are demand between DXB to YUL as well as DXB to YVR but i wonder which of the next Canada's other cities that Emirates would likely to serve.
@Syafiq Rizuan Emirates in YUL it could happen sooner or later but between YUL and DXB there could be AC but TS can't fly that far because their fleet will not have enough gas to cover nonstop YUL and DXB.
Flights between Canada and Scandinavia is still very underserved. Almost no flights
Because they are both very small markets.
Unpopular pairing …People just want to get warm!!
Given that DFW is one of the busiest airports in the world in one of the fastest growing metro areas in the US (if not the world), I think it should have more nonstop international routes than it does. Disregarding for a moment that American Airlines is by far the largest airline at DFW, that the Oneworld airline alliance (to which AA belongs) would help determine which of these routes would start, geopolitics, and profitability, DFW to TPE, SGN, JNB, KEF (once served), ZRH (also once served), BOM, and CAI are just a few of the nonstop flights I'd like to see.

I would like to see Perth(Aus) Colombo(Sri Lanka) direct since Sri Lankan already providing melbourne and sydney and perth service will provide easy travel to Sri Lanka, Male Dives, and much of south Iindia.
PER - South Asia (Sri Lanka or India) is not a matter of "if" but "when". I remember a few months ago, Perth Airport CEO said in a statement that they need direct India and Sri Lanka flights from PER.
Seems like a no brainer, especially since Sri Lankan is a One World member (same as QF), so lots of potential there. Honestly though, they should consider Darwin - good size Sri Lankan community, and Darwin is begging for decent connectivity - Sri Lankan would pick up a ton of traffic connecting onwards, and the NT govt would fall over themselves to help support the route with marketing, reduced airport fees etc.
@@lmlmd2714 issue with Darwin is filling 250+ seats in A330. Once a week service when they don't operate Sydney could have potential. Even sydney get served 3 times per week( they started with 7 times per week. I think they couldn't fill the plane so reduced to 3 times). May be 5th freedom flights connecting Colombo Darwin Sydney might be feasible.
CGK-AKL, you need to stopover at Australia territory or something inefficient flying north first to Singapore or other Asian Countries.
Panama City (pty) currently has no non-stop service to London.
Because it's not supported by demand. No need for it.
As far as i know, PTY is served with 4 European destinations: CDG, AMS, FRA and MAD.
Melbourne (Aus) - Vancouver (Can)
I’m sure AC will start this route up again soon. Look for it in 2023.
The last I remember, most if not all international flights to China's Xian-Xianyang airport involve a stopover in another city in mainland China e.g. Guangzhou, Shanghai
Dublin to Lagos or Abuja.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to London, would be a great route for British Airways, simply by extending to Dar es Salaam the London to Nairobi daily
DVO-LAX or DVO-SFO. I want a direct flight from Davao to the West Coast of the USA without transferring other planes in Manila’s/Parañaque’s/Pasay’s notorious Airport traffic,etc. Only problem was the right aircraft, resources, and the demand of the customers for this route.
You can actually fly DVO-LAX or SFO via Singapore on Scoot/Singapore Airlines. There's still a stop, but at least it's at the world's best airport😄
Not at all surprised that Katmandu is not connected to London and has very limited connections overall. I don't think it has anything to do with demand or passenger traffic. The point is Katmandu, Nepal, is not a normal airport. Only very specially trained pilots can perform the approach and departure from there.
ATL - WAW non-stop flights would be nice.
A Paris(CDG) - La Nouvelle Orleans(MSY) non-stop connection is long overdue, and should be mandatory. There's no reason why that the French capital and the most French-oriented city in America should be avoiding each other.
100% agree BA has flown to NOLA for years. Makes no sense AF has never had a route. They could fill a 787-9 at least a few times a week.
It's because they completely lost their French heritage. No one really speaks French there anymore.
@@purplerabbit638 Not really. French is still spoken in places in metro N.O. westbank, and southwest of the area (Houma/Thibodaux) which depends on MSY for travel. The Lafayette area has the largest French-speaking population in America, and I believe they should get a flight to France as well.
@@MoneyC225 well then, I stand corrected. Thanks for the info.

Most of these pairs seem to be easily reachable by hubs, so the added luxury of a direct flight is not that desirable for passengers. Quito to JFK seems to stick out here or am I missing something
Yes, specifically since it can be flown by narrowbodies. Perhaps AA retiring the 757 had something to do with this being unserved?
There are no direct non stop flights from UIO neither to JFK, nor to EWR or La Guardia.

The one about Taipei to Jeju is interesting to me, how come there is still a Taiwan branch of tigerair even when tigerair Australia has dissolved in the pandemic, does anyone know?
Also, SGN-LAX a lot of people will use it, especially people from Vietnam going to visit family in the USA or vice versa, if Vietnam Airlines or United or American could run this route it would be trendy, and would most likely pull a 777. My evidence for this is, Vietnam Airlines run an A350 flight from SGN to Sydney and Melbourne 6 days a week, and it is very successful with Vietnamese going to see family and vice versa, even low-cost Australian carrier Jetstar runs 3x a week flights from MEL and SYD to SGN, so it would definitely be popular.
That's because Tigerair Taiwan is not related to Tigerair Australia in any substantive way. Both were spin-offs of the original Tigerair brand in Singapore which is also no longer operational following its merger with Scoot. Tigerair Australia was a wholly owned subsidiary of Virgin Australia, while Tigerair Taiwan is a subsidiary of China Airlines.
