Routes go to the heart of airlines and airports, and I celebrate them in my weekly newsletter.
Welcome to my 111th weekly routes article! (Strangely, 111 routes have that flight number this week, according to OAG data.) I've analyzed a few subjectively exciting examples of routes that took off recently. As usual, many other routes started this week, with a selection summarized at the end. I wish all readers a Merry Christmas.
