American airlines are determined to make the most of the upturn in international air travel after more than two and a half years of crisis linked to the Covid pandemic, and among them Delta is pulling out all the stops on its transatlantic network to regain and exceed pre-crisis traffic levels. In all, Delta Airlines will be offering up to 650 weekly peak frequencies throughout the summer. The airline will operate a total of 77 routes to 32 destinations in Europe throughout the summer. This represents a 30% growth in seat capacity compared with 2022.

Nice-Atlanta, a first-time route

In the last three months, Delta has launched or relaunched 32 of its transatlantic routes. In March, the American airline relaunched its daily service between Atlanta and Tel Aviv (Israel). On May 12, Delta launched a new daily service between Nice and Atlanta, which will operate until September 29, 2023. It complements the daily service between Nice and New York JFK, which was relaunched on March 26 and will operate until October 28, 2023. Delta also relaunched its daily service between Paris CDG and Los Angeles on May 10.

Historic transatlantic program from New York

Also in May, Delta launched a new daily service between Atlanta and the Scottish city of Edinburgh. The American member of the Skyteam alliance has also relaunched its daily service between Los Angeles and London-Heathrow. At the same time, this summer Delta is offering the largest transatlantic schedule in its history from New York-JFK, with a total of 230 weekly departures to 26 destinations, including the launch of a first-ever service to Geneva and the relaunch of two seasonal services to Venice and Prague.
