Michael Rousseau, President and CEO of Air Canada, has been elected as the new Chair of the Star Alliance Chief Executive Board, succeeding Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, who held the position since December 2020.

United Airlines has announced the extension of seasonal flights with daily direct connections from Athens to US for the summer of 2025.

The airline is increasing its weekly flights to New York/Newark from seven to 10.

Additionally, it will launch flights to New York/Newark and Chicago's O'Hare three weeks earlier than previous schedules.

United Airlines announced today the expansion of its seasonal flights with daily direct connections from Athens to the USA for the summer of 2025.

If someone were to ask, “What would you do with half a million dollars?” the most likely answer—at least in theory—might be: “Travel the world.”

Yet, one man has turned the dream of endless travel into reality, spending his half-million dollars in a way that has carried him far beyond what most people could ever imagine.

The number of passengers Turkish Airlines carried increased by 3.5 percent year-on-year in January-July to 48.94 million.

The international passenger tally was up 3.6 percent in the first seven months of 2024 from a year ago, reaching 30.9 million. Domestic passengers grew by 3.4 percent to more than 18 million.

United Airlines has launched a new daily direct flight between Athens International Airport and its main hub in Chicago O'Hare, increasing flights from Greece by more than 30%.

This new seasonal flight from Athens to Chicago O'Hare adds to United's existing flights from Greece, which started earlier this summer.

The number of passengers Turkish Airlines carried in the first four months of 2024 increased by 8 percent from a year ago to 25.94 million.

The international passenger tally rose by 6.1 percent annually to 16.3 million, while domestic passengers were up 11.5 percent to 9.2 million.

Turkish Airlines is preparing to start flights from Istanbul to Denver in mid-June that will bring the number of destinations the flag carrier flies to the U.S. to 14.

There will be three weekly flights between Istanbul and Denver, starting on June 11, while the flight frequency between the two cities is planned to be increased to four in July.

Türkiye's flag carrier Turkish Airlines reported a net income of more than $6 billion in 2023, marking a 121 percent increase from the previous year.

Total revenues rose by 13.7 percent last year compared with 2022 to reach $20.94 billion, while passenger revenue climbed 24 percent to $17.7 billion, according to the company's financials.

Airlines have increased their available air seats for travel to Greece this summer by 10.1% from last year, anticipating strong demand.

Among the four major markets from which Greece attracts visitors, the United States stands out with a 27.2% increase in available air seats, to 613,200 seats for the March-October period.
