Denmark-based Primera Air will start giving weekly nonstop flights to London’s Stanstead Airport from Dulles International Airport beginning Aug. 22.

It will launch service with one-way fares starting at $199.

“We’ve been planning to add Washington, D.C. from the beginning of our transatlantic flight project,” said Primera Air president and owner Andri Mar Ingolfsson.

“Primera Air sees a strong demand for this route, and we are proud to be the first low-cost airline to start operations between both cities, offering people an affordable way of transatlantic travel.”

Primera air also is expanding its network to include New York, Boston and Toronto.

It will operate its Dulles-to-London flights on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, using Airbus and Boeing narrow-body planes.

Primera Air already flies to about 70 destinations within Europe.

Dulles had a record 7.8 million international passengers in 2017.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
