New service is planned for Boston on March 16th and Atlanta on June 1, while a second daily flight is scheduled to launch from New York's JFK Airport in April. In addition to new routes, the airline has brought the state-of-the-art Airbus A350 XWB to America, where it now flies daily, non-stop service to and from Philadelphia. – TradeArabia News Service
