Up to 23 transatlantic Boeing 757 flights will take place daily this summer, connecting the United States and Europe. Among these, 12 routes feature a maximum block time exceeding eight hours. The longest service, Newark to Stockholm Arlanda, will be operated by United Airlines and has a block time of 8 hours and 40 minutes. United Airlines dominates the market, accounting for 75% of these flights, surpassing the combined efforts of Icelandair and Delta.
Data from Cirium Diio reveals a 12% reduction in transatlantic 757 flights when compared to the previous summer. This decline is attributed mainly to Icelandair's decision to phase out the 757-300 and replace the 757-200 with more efficient models like the 737 MAX 8, 737 MAX 9, and A321LR.
A total of 25 transatlantic 757 routes are planned for this summer by United, Icelandair, and Delta, with some routes not operating frequently. All but two of these routes are United-operated, featuring block times of eight or more hours. The routes include the longest, the Newark to Stockholm service, until SAS exited Star Alliance and joined SkyTeam in September 2024.
