Welcome to the 135th weekly routes article, which highlights notable new airline services that began recently. The focus is on significant and intriguing routes rather than a comprehensive list.

Go Beond has launched its next European route from Malé to Milan Malpensa via Dubai Al Maktoum for refueling. The all-business-class Maldivian operator uses an ex-easyJet, 44-seat A319 aircraft for this twice-weekly service. Flights depart Malé at 13:15 and arrive in Milan at 22:10 local time, returning at 23:10 and arriving back in the Maldives at 13:15 local time the following day. Milan joins Munich and Zurich as Beond’s third European destination.

Avianca has resumed flights to France after over two decades, with a new service from Bogotá to Paris CDG. The Colombian flag carrier operates five times weekly using a Boeing 787-8, competing directly with Air France's daily A350-900 service. Avianca’s flights depart Paris at 08:40.
