Delta Air Lines plans to nearly double its transatlantic capacity year over year for summer 2022, flying 73 daily flights to 25 destinations, the carrier has announced.
Its schedule includes two new routes from Athens and Tel Aviv to Boston from the end of May, and the reintroduction of Rome-Boston and Edinburgh-Boston flights on May 1 and May 27 respectively.
New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport will be Delta's largest transatlantic hub next summer, with 29 daily flights to 23 destinations.
It is restoring services from Frankfurt, which it has not operated since the early days of Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, on 13 December, and that service will increase to daily by the summer.
It will also restore services to New York from Zurich on 6 February, from Brussels on 26 March, from Edinburgh on 1 May and from both Copenhagen and Prague on 26 May.
Delta will also increase frequencies from Amsterdam, London, Milan and Rome to twice-daily by the summer and deploy larger aircraft on services from Dublin and Lisbon.
From Atlanta, Delta plans to operate 18 daily flights to 14 transatlantic destinations next summer. Services from Munich will restart on 13 December and increase to daily by the summer, and services from Milan, which Delta has not operated since the summer of 2019, will restart on 1 May.
In addition, Delta is increasing services between Atlanta and Amsterdam to three times daily and to both Rome and London to twice daily, as well as putting larger aircraft on flights from Dublin.
Other returning transatlantic routes include Portland, Oregon, to Amsterdam on 3 May and from both Cincinnati and Raleigh-Durham to Paris in early August.
