There has been a lot of expansion to Europe by US Carriers especially DL, CO, US. CO flies to some smaller airports and now U.S to likes of LIS, MXP,ARN and of course DL is taking a big gamble by adding lots more intl travel.
What Coutries/Airports will be next to see new American carrier service, Maybe Poland is yet untapped?

It wouldn't suprise me if some day down the line we see a New York area to BSL service. This could potentially be pretty high yield given Novartis and Roche are both beadquartered in the region as well as many other hot shot companies.
that being said... Maybe some more players in Berlin and Helsinki... who knows

We might see some additional flights into airports of "secondary" cities like Nice,Lyon,Venice,Stuttgart or Palermo.
Belgrade could become a potential "target" if JAT does not get planes in due time.
Among "new" airports-so far without any flight to the USA ,I would put Hannover and Nuremberg in Germany( maybe in 2007 ),Basel in Switzerland,
Gothenburg in Sweden,Bucarest in Roumania ,Malaga in Spain and Porto in Portugal.
In North Africa I predict flights from Algeria and Tunis to Canada and /or USA.

Quoting Beaucaire (Reply 3): Belgrade could become a potential "target" if JAT does not get planes in due time.
When did JAT do anything in time? There definitely is potential between ORD and JFK to BEG. ORD (catchment area) alone could serve well over 1 million Serbs.
A US carrier would be a welcome sight at BEG as we cannot rely on our pathetic national carrier to serve its citizens.

I remember some French company was about to start direct flights from Nantes to U.S. and Canada.
If I am not mistaken the name was "Oceanic Air" ?
Most probably this idea is abandoned now?

UA has already applied for the ORD-VIE route, not sure when this will happen with the emergence from bankruptcy.

Quoting VORFMD (Reply 10): yep, they already requested Slots in VIE for a daily ORD-VIE run. BUT, the�ve got bad Slots in VIE, so it will be the Question if UA will accept them.

With a bit of luck. I'm surprised CO haven't announced this route by now. Unless they are waiting a bit nearer to the first flight so people will remember that the route was announced.

Could well be announced later this year for a May 2007 start

Quoting BHXDTW (Reply 18): How about more routes from NW ?
They're the only US carrier who only serve one british airport !..
They codeshare out of others on KL metal.
One day they might look at opening up MAN with the 787 as that would be an ideal route starting aircraft for them. MAN-MSP could do well with NW connections.
Thanks,
Is there any particular reason that they can not get a good slot? I would think with Austrian being a *alliance member they would like to have a codeshare to add more capacity, and thus would help with the slotting, but admittedly I don�t know anything about how they are assigned in Austria

Quoting EIRules (Reply 20): I think CO EWR-ORK could soon be on the cards. After that UA SFO-DUB or IAD-DUB
Im not so sure about UA. I think they will enter Ireland but not while the SNN stopover remains. The same goes for CO. It hardly makes much sense doing A EWR-SNN-ORK-EWR run. I think EI might try A ORK-JFK say 2 or 3 per week flight when open skies starts.

Yeah but laster this year CO will start a second daily DUB flight from EWR, one direct and one a triangle route through SNN. Why not in that case have 2 daily DUB direct routes, a SNN-EWR route and a ORK-SNN-EWR flight
Next Flights: EI DUB-LHR A320, BA LHR-SFO B744, UA SFO-LAS A320, BA LAS-LHR B744, EI LHR-DUB A320
25 MD90fan: With A33X's?!? lol Isnt that kinda too much for the market? Can a A32X make that? My guesses NW DTW-MAN CO EWR-PRG EWR-NCL EWR-BFS DL JFK-LED JFK-WAW
26 AirafriqueDKR: Don't know if it's been discussed already but CO is starting EWR-BCN on 17may.
27 VORFMD: yes but OS does not have any influence on Slots in VIE for other Carriers. However, VIE Airport is very interested in new US links, so maybe they wil
28 BY738: CO will see the provisonal AA loads and ,like AA think twice. High fuel prices or not.
30 Hjulicher: I think future growth markets for US - Europe connections will be more on the european side as there are so many airport's in the US with direct conne
31 Flyboy_se: I would love to see BEG aswell. If and i only say IF, Jat Airwyas would join Skyteam,then maybe we could see CO out of EWR or DL from JFK.Jat could ma
32 A342: Talking about MUC, I think in the not too distant future we´ll see a nonstop MUC-DEN flight by either UA or LH. Dl could also put larger aircraft on
33 Vega: I've also heard this was being considered. The problem at PHL with KLM/NW is that assuming the AMS flight departs/arrives (a given) from the Internat
34 HUYfan: Newcastle WILL get a NY service for Summer 2007, I would bet a lot of money on it! Regards Mike
35 Avianca: maybe IAD-DUB but no chance for SFO-DUB, for me the next europe route from SFO operated by UA will be MUC. no way, not to long ago they axed the rout
36 CentPIT: I wouldn't say no way. I don't think it is in the near future but I think it will return. Probably FRA or LGW rather than CDG.
37 AC773: I wouldn't mind seeing PHL-ZRH on US. I suppose it won't be happening in the near future, but my fingers are crossed for when their A350s are delivere
38 HoosierCFI: I am sure that sometime in the near future, a discount airline with start flights to STN. With all of the cheap connecting flights, I am sure that man
39 LTU932: How will they be able to operate out of ORK? The main runway is just barely under 7,000 feet long, so it would either be EWR-ORK-SNN-EWR with a 757 o
