The USA’s 23rd Busiest Airport Gets 2 New Long-Haul Airlines & Routes This Week

The Tennessee airport’s long-haul airline portfolio has increased to a record three, with Icelandair and Aer Lingus joining long-standing carrier British Airways. They’re bound to be in my next jam-packed Weekly Routes article.
