Air Baltic (BT) Has expressed its intention to relaunch service between Riga and Geneva this summer. The route would be operated every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday (1320-1400 / BT647/8) starting July 1st. Air Baltic would operate Boeing 737-500 equipment on this route. Air Bridge Cargo (ABW) Has cancelled all remaining slots it was holding for flights to Beijing via Moscow. Contract is transferred to Jade Cargo. Air Canada (AC) After an almost two decades long hiatus, Air Canada has restarted service to Geneva on June 1st 2009. The airline launched at that date a daily Geneva-Montreal-Toronto service with Boeing 767-300 equipment (1005-1215 / AC830/1). According to initial plans, Air Canada will adapt frequency to demand during the winter months when four weekly flights will be operated. This new service will also be a Swiss codeshare. DHL (European Air Transport) (BCS) Has again allocated the Leipzig-Geneva sector to Atlantic Airlines (with Lockheed Electra) for the whole summer season. Schedules remain the same as last winter (0605-2120) from Tuesday to Friday (arriving at 2135 on Sunday evening for the Monday departure). A Boeing 757-200 operates the Saturday morning flight (0605-0710). Iceland Express (AEU) Iceland Express will launch a weekly Geneva-Keflavik service during summer 2009. Flights will be operated between June 20th and August 29th every Saturday evening (2040-2130 / AEU243/4) with Boeing 737-700 equipment operated by Astraeus Airlines, painted in full Iceland Express colorscheme. Initially the airline planned to operate flights on Friday, but it is now confirmed they will operate on Saturday evening instead. Jade Cargo International (JI) Has requested permission to add Geneva to its network, replacing Air Bridge Cargo on an add-hoc contract with a swiss machinery supplier. According to the airline's plans, the route Brescia-Barcelona-Geneva-Shanghai (in that direction only) would be flown with Boeing 747-400F equipment as of June 25th on Thursday evenings (1820-2150) with a maximum of one flight every two weeks, but this flight will probably only operate at a more reduced pace. Malév (MA) Has announced on June 3rd that the airline would suspend service to Geneva next winter as a cost saving measure. Malév is expected to restart service to Geneva during summer 2010. United Airlines (UA) Has now increased frequency of its Washington-Geneva service to a daily service (0750-1200 / UA974/5). Uzbekistan Airways (HY) Has rescheduled its weekly Tashkent-Geneva-Milan-Tashkent flight back to Fridays since of April 10th. The flight also operates with a new schedule (1830-1955 / HY255/6).
