Long-haul international routes continue to creep back onto the maps of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines in July even as U.S. coronavirus cases surge anew.

As of the end of June, the carriers plan to fly more than 60 long-haul routes. This is an increase from the roughly 40 routes flown in June and a dramatic turnaround from the 14 flown in April.

Hawaiian, which had planned to resume long-haul international flying on July 25, has postponed its return to at least Aug. 15. On that day, it plans to resume flights to Japan, South Korea and Tahiti, with Australia and New Zealand services possibly taking off again on Sept. 30.

Airlines' plans to resume international flying are tenuous at best. Many countries maintain border restrictions to slow the spread of COVID-19. The EU, for example, has barred most American travelers from entering the 27-member country bloc beginning July 1.

On June 25, Delta president Glen Hauenstein told staff that the airline is unlikely to resume flights to leisure destinations like Athens (ATH) and Lisbon (LIS) if the EU ban goes into effect.

American spokesperson Nichelle Tait told TPG that there are no planned changes to the airline's European flying due to the ban yet.

Below are the long-haul international routes planned by U.S. airlines for July.
