Delta has cancelled its planned new service from Chicago O’Hare to London Heathrow.
The US airline announced the route last month with the flight departing Chicago at 1730 and landing at LHR at 0735 the following day. The return service was due to depart LHR at 0930 and arrive in Chicago at 1245 local time.
A Delta spokesperson said: "Having done further research on the route the decision has been made to evaluate the Delta - Virgin transatlantic offering as we build our partnership and optimise the transatlantic schedule.
"Virgin continues to service the route from Heathrow during the summer season."
Delta’s Seattle to Heathrow service will launch today.
