Delta Air Lines will launch a daily Amsterdam to Salt Lake City service in May 2015, the airline has confirmed.
The new route will be part of a planned 8 per cent capacity increase at Delta’s Salt Lake City hub over the next five years.
The airline’s existing daily service from Paris launched in June 2008 and is currently the only trans-Atlantic service offered by any airline from Salt Lake City.
Services from Amsterdam will begin with five flights a week on May 1, 2015 before rising to a daily operation from May 14, 2015.
Flight DL57 departs Amsterdam at 1030 and arrives in Salt Lake City at 1315 local time. Return service DL53 takes-off from Salt Lake City at 1651 and arrives back in Amsterdam at 1055 the next day.
Perry Cantarutti, Delta’s senior vice president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: "Amsterdam has always been a strategically important hub for Delta.
"Together with our joint venture partners Air France, KLM and Alitalia, we already offer 28 peak-day flights between Amsterdam and the US and the addition of Salt Lake City to the network will provide customers with even greater choice when flying across the Atlantic."
Delta will roster a B767-300ER aircraft onto the service.
