DELTA AIR LINES has received permission, de facto, to introduce
services between Gatwick and New York JFK following permission from
the US Department of Transportation to begin selling seats on the new
route (ABTN 31 July). Initially a daily flight, and starting on 15
November out of JFK (and LGW the following day), a second rotation
will start next May. Final approval of the route, purchased from
United Airlines, is expected within the next few weeks. The service
will be operated by two-class 214-passenger Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
A new feature of the service is a complimentary cocktail with each
meal in economy class.
