Following its revenue growth exceeding 50 percent in Asia, the airline plans to debut service to Shanghai and Manila and has applied with the U.S. Department of Transportation to begin new routes to China's Beijing and Guangzhou, among other places.

Cities throughout Asia included in the airline's expansion include service between Tokyo-Narita and Manila, Philippines and between Altanta and Shanghai. Throughout Europe, new routes include Boston to London-Heathrow, Miami to London-Heathrow and Boston to Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
