Turkish Airlines has launched a new route from Istanbul to Denver in Colorado, marking the airline's 14th destination in the USA. Starting 11 June, it will operate three flights per week between Istanbul airport and Denver International airport, increasing to four flights per week from 9 July onwards, the carrier says. With the addition of Denver, the airline now serves 347 destinations across 130 countries globally.

Airstream International Group has been mandated to sell a further five ATR 72-500s on behalf of Bangladeshi carrier NovoAir.
The 1999-2002 build aircraft, bearing MSNs 600, 646, 636, 687 and 597, are available for immediate sale, the aircraft remarketing specialist says. Following the disposal, the carrier will have no aircraft left in its fleet, Cirium fleets data shows. Airstream previously arranged the sale of two ATR 72-500s (MSNs 805, 816) on behalf of NovoAir to Nepalese carrier Yeti Airlines.

Cathay Pacific ferried its last remaining aircraft out of long-term storage, an Airbus A330-300, from Alice Springs on 6 June. "After nearly four years in the Australian desert, Cathay Pacific's A330 bearing registration B-HLV returned to Hong Kong, where it will now undergo an extensive hangar maintenance check," the airline says. Fleets data shows that the aircraft, MSN 548, was built in 2003 and is owned by the carrier. The aircraft was the first of the Cathay Pacific Group's fleet to go into long-term parking overseas on 28 July 2020 due to the pandemic, with most of its fleet stored in Alice Springs or Ciudad Real in Spain. Fleets data shows that there is one A320ceo owned by the carrier still in Alice Springs, however it appears that the 24 year jet is unlikely to return to service with Cathay. The airline currently has 169 aircraft in service, while low-cost subsidiary HK Express has five A320 family aircraft in its fleet.
