The airline operates from London Gatwick, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester Airports to 34 destinations worldwide, and launched the UK’s first low-cost, long haul flights to the US in 2014.

A direct route to Puerto Rico from the UK will be introduced in November while a new low-cost route from Gatwick to Boston will be launched in May 2016.

Both the new routes will be served by Dreamliner aircraft.

With an eye on international expansion, the airline is quadrupling its long-haul fleet to 38 aircraft within the next five years, by buying 19 new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
