Whilst plans are speculative, the airline has confirmed the addition of two Tristar L1011-500 with long haul capabilities and 309 seats. The airline says it is also underway to acquire a further two smaller aircraft for European routes. Boeing 757 aircraft are used on current routes. Air Scotland has applied for permission to operate from Miami and New York twice a week and to Havana and Toronto once a week. All flights are expected to commence later on this year. Plans are also underway to increase the frequency of the Glasgow to Paris and Athens routes, to five times per week from July 2005.

I'm sure that if it's any new services, the FAA may have already noted that it's not really "Air Scotland" who will be operating the services but Greece Airways. * which is one of the reasons why they couldn't launch MAN-BOS using A300s a few years ago.

I'd never heard of this ban, but it is interesting to hear about. I have also wondered about the issue with Greece Airways operating services from the UK to the US/Canada etc. as I think they have a greek AOC and thus may not be permitted to operate the routes in question if they are technically a Greek airline.
