London will be the first European destination served by the company, which has its headquarters in New York. This is despite the UK being on track to be the carrier’s 23rd country.

It’s time for regulators here in the US and across Europe to create conditions where smaller carriers and new entrants can thrive, instead of letting the giant airlines get even bigger through joint ventures.
