Etihad Airways will begin flights from Abu Dhabi to Boston in the USA on 31 March 2024. The Middle Eastern carrier says it will operate the route four times a week with Boeing 787-9s. Boston is Etihad's fourth US destination, joining Chicago, New York, and Washington, along with flights to Toronto in Canada. Etihad highlights its partnership with JetBlue Airways to provide connections to cities throughout North America.

Cebu Pacific will increase the number of new aircraft deliveries this year to 21 from 15 to "further improve operational resiliency amid growing demand for air travel". Seventeen will be Neos, while the remaining four are Ceos on short-term leases, the Philippine carrier states. This is the second time the airline has raised its delivery target for the year. In January, Cebu Pacific disclosed plans to introduce 10 new aircraft, comprising three Airbus A320neos, three A321neos and four A330neos. This was raised to 15 in a 5 May investor briefing, with the addition of five leased A320s. In that May briefing, the airline's chief executive Mike Szucs said he foresees it would be on average "maybe one or two aircraft down in terms of the flying lines" due to aircraft and engine shortage, which had already crimped the carrier's ability to operate planned capacity in March and April. The airline disclosed the new delivery target as it inducted its ninth new aircraft, an Airbus A321neo, on 27 July. "This aircraft delivery allows us to increase our operational resilience while continuing to provide safe, reliable, and affordable air travel to our passengers," says Alex Reyes, chief strategy officer, Cebu Pacific. Flight tracking data shows the narrowbody, registered RP-C4133 (MSN 11335), was flown from Airbus' Hamburg Finkenwerder delivery centre on 26 July, stopping in Muscat and Ho Chi Minh City before arriving at Ninoy Aquino International airport in Manila on 27 July. Fleets data shows that the airline is listed as the owner of the Pratt & Whitney PW1133G-powered A321neo. The all-Airbus operator has a fleet of 61 aircraft, which are predominantly A320 family jets, with 56 in service and five in storage, and orders for 10 A320neos, 10 A321XLRs, 10 A321neos and 11 A330-900s.

Saudia has disclosed the introduction of Airbus A321neo aircraft to its fleet. The Saudi Arabian carrier says it is scheduled to receive 20 A321neos through to 2026. Fleets data shows the airline has a further 15 units of the in-development A321XLRs on order. Saudia opted to power its A321neos with CFM International Leap-1A engines. Its existing fleet includes 41 A320ceos and 15 A321ceos, all powered by CFM56s. The carrier additionally operates A330s and Boeing 747s, 777s and 787s.
