There are 15 new A321 aircraft coming on line this year against an existing fleet of ~227. That's a reasonable expansion. For 2018 there are 11 new planes scheduled to join the fleet. In 2019-2022 it is 20+ each year.
The main pending new routes right now come in the form of the Atlanta (re)launch set for March and beyond. The lack of details on the JFK/FLL/MCO-ATL service thus far remains annoying.
