Notable airline route launches include Etihad's debut in Taipei and Icelandair's Istanbul connection

Breeze Airways continues its expansion by launching ten new routes within four days during the week under review. Six of these markets are entirely new for Breeze, including Raleigh/Durham-Ogdensburg and Akron/Canton-Daytona Beach. Several other routes have been reintroduced after previous suspensions.

Kam Air has resumed flights between Kabul and Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Istanbul after a hiatus since 2020. The Afghan carrier now operates this twice-weekly service using a Boeing 737-300 with up to six hours of block time per flight.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has relaunched its Hyderabad service on September 2, bringing its total number of Indian destinations served directly from Amsterdam to four: Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. This marks KLM’s highest level of direct connectivity with India in its history.

Allegiant Air began intra-Tennessee flights between Knoxville and Memphis on a twice-weekly basis. It is the first nonstop air link between these two cities since Delta ended similar service in 2013.

American Eagle inaugurated a new route from Washington Reagan National Airport to Houston Intercontinental on September 3. On the same day, it resumed services from New York LaGuardia to Atlanta and Madison—routes that had previously been discontinued. Delta Connection started flying Minneapolis-Westchester on September 8; this market last saw regular service before Northwest ceased operations there in 2008.

Turkish Airlines continues rebuilding its Libyan network following disruptions caused by civil conflict over the past decade. After resuming flights earlier this year to Mitiga (Tripoli) and Benghazi, Turkish Airlines now serves Misrata three times weekly using Boeing narrowbody aircraft. In total for the upcoming week, Turkish Airlines will operate eighteen weekly flights into Libya but holds less than thirty percent of all available departures—a significant decrease compared with pre-civil war levels when it controlled about two-thirds of the market share.

"There are more than 4,700 daily round-trip passengers who flew between Taipei and Europe last year," according to recent figures cited by Simple Flying.
