Airlines Expand International Routes Amid Recovery

Delta Air Lines is set to roll out its largest-ever winter schedule for 2025-2026 to Latin America and the Caribbean, including new routes from Atlanta to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. American Airlines has launched new transatlantic routes, notably from Chicago to Madrid, while expanding its network with new domestic and international routes including Oklahoma City to Cancun. Alaska Airlines plans to start a new nonstop service from Seattle to Seoul, boosting its international connectivity and competing with Delta and Korean Air on this route. These expansions by Delta, American, and Alaska reflect a broader trend within the aviation industry towards increasing connectivity and capacity for both leisure and business travelers. Airlines are strategically enhancing their networks to capitalize on key markets such as Europe, Latin America, and Asia, indicating a robust recovery and growth trajectory post-pandemic.
