What airlines & the marketing dept are doing

Let's see:
BE restoring the seasonal French links, adding a new French link plus 2 new domestic routes
AA restoring their former JFK run (perhaps with the expected ATI making it year-round and not just seasonal - it's slated for a return around 11th May 2011)
DL looks to be going back to year-round for JFK
EK is bringing in the A380 (not a moment too soon) and I expect a frequency bump in the not too distant future.
EY using 777s from the 7th June and hints of them increasing frequency
WW saying that MAN is getting new routes
U2 having the effect of 5 based aircraft this summer (up from 3 last summer) adn I expect new destinations to be added for winter given there is scope within the flying programme (perhaps leading to based aircraft 6 when all this year's summer seasonal routes get restored next summer)
LS adding destinations and bumped up frequencies on a couple of routes
EI stating a daily route to SNN
VS adding a route to LAS and compensating for A330s to Orlando by boosting frequencies
SQ boosting frequency (though it looks like it caausing a bit of drop in pax carried with it beinh shared with MUC)
CX perhaps starting in the short-to-medium term

Rumours of an August announcement for a new long-haul route (not CX I am led to believe).
