Airlines often plan routes years in advance, and 'winter' in the aviation industry refers to a specific season, usually from late October to late March. So, a January 2027 launch means the flights will begin during the winter 2026/2027 season, aligning with industry scheduling practices and allowing plenty of time for booking and promotion.
