This summer marks a significant increase in transatlantic flights, with over 35 passenger airlines operating between the US and Europe. According to Cirium Diio data, there will be up to 635 daily take-offs, the highest number ever recorded.
A total of 40 new and returning routes are being introduced, contributing to the record number of US-Europe flights. These additions are divided into two categories based on each carrier's origin: US airlines will begin 25 routes, while European operators will launch the remaining 15.
Many of these routes build on services that started or restarted in winter 2024/2025 and will continue through the summer. It is noted that an estimated 19 links served last summer will not be flown this year.
