Finnair will increase Helsinki–Tokyo services to as many as three flights daily during summer 2027, comprising up to two daily flights to Narita and one to Haneda. The expansion will raise its Japan schedule from 28 to as many as 32 weekly flights. Finnair also serves Osaka year-round and Nagoya seasonally, although extended routings avoiding Russian and Ukrainian airspace mean Tokyo flights now exceed 13 hours.

Philippine Airlines plans to launch Manila–Delhi and Manila–Mumbai services in December 2026, subject to Indian government approval. Both routes will use Airbus A321neos, with Delhi operating three times weekly and Mumbai four times weekly. PAL will compete with Air India on the Delhi route, while Manila–Mumbai will be a new, currently unserved link.

Turkish Airlines has converted its commitment for 100 Boeing 737 Max 8s into firm orders, retaining purchase options for another 50 Max aircraft. The agreement allows some Max 8s to be substituted with the larger, yet-to-be-certified Max 10. Turkish Airlines and subsidiary AJet currently operate a combined fleet of 78 Max jets.
