Delta Air Lines revives UK connections

Published on : Tuesday, August 10, 2021

Delta Air Lines has decided to offer nearly 30 weekly flights to London Heathrow this autumn in a bid to boost UK connections. The move comes after the airline eased quarantine rules for American travellers. Customers will be allowed to choose non-stop service to London Heathrow via four United States hubs as Delta restarts three-times-weekly service from Seattle on October 7, and four-times-weekly service from Detroit starting October 11.

In addition, New York-JFK flights will double to twice a day beginning October 6. Customers can also continue flying daily from Atlanta. With Delta’s joint venture partner Virgin Atlantic, customers can also seamlessly connect to LHR with over 30 flights from Boston, Los Angeles and Miami, as well as ATL and JFK. The airline is offering a combined 43 weekly flights, operated in conjunction with KLM and Air France.

Joe Esposito, Senior Vice President, Network Planning said in a statement that the long-awaited reopening marks a major milestone since the borders closed to most travellers, more than a year ago and hence the airline is excited to help customers reclaim their joy of travel, always keeping their health and safety as the top priority amid the dynamic environment of global travel.
