Boston has a few new International destinations upcoming.
Air Europa will begin seasonal service to Madrid in early June 2017 ending early in September. The A330-200 will serve that route.

Delta Airlines will also expand Caribbean service to Punta Cana and Montego Bay starting in late December 2016 and St. Thomas in late February 2017. Punta Cana and Montego Bay will be served by the A319 and the St. Thomas route wil be served by the 757-200.
Virgin Atlantic will begin seasonal service to Manchester starting in March 2017. The A330-300 will serve that route.
Boston has become quite the international hub! It makes me wish I still lived there…
I remember when JAL flew the only Aisan route to NRT. Now they have Hainan, Cathay Pacific, Enirates, Qatar, El Al, etc. it’s nice to see Boston getting so much love! It’s a great city, with a great economy, and lots of pristigious higer education. It’s cool to see airlines investing in it!
Once Massport completes the new A380 gates in early 2017, Boston could definitely see a larger increase in passenger traffic as well as aircraft traffic. I hope to see Singapore airlines within the next two years.
It’s pretty strange sometimes what aircraft are used on certain routes. American flies a B752 From JFK to Dublin, Birmingham and Paris, as well as other cities.
I know British had plans to start A380 service in February but was canceled because the new gates are taking longer than usual. Emirates will use A380 service for sure.
757s are perfect for those routes since they can fly the distance with just the right amount of seats. It’s kind of a niche and it’s why everybody thinks/wants Boeing to revive or replace it.
