Delta Air Lines plans to begin or resume 35 routes in December involving nine US hubs and airports, with Minneapolis having the most additions. This finding is from using Cirium Diio to examine every route scheduled in December compared to November. Of the 35 links: Three are brand-new (Delta has never served them) Nine were served at least two years ago 23 were flown earlier this year and are simply returning (they're obviously mainly winter seasonal) Routes make the world go around.
Delta's three brand-new routes They are as follows. Only one is long-haul, with the SkyTeam member flying to Queensland's capital for the first time. Brisbane will be its fourth Oceania destination after Auckland, Papeete (Tahiti), and Sydney.
After Qantas, Delta will become the airport pair's second operator, with its standard 306-seat A350-900s to be flown. United flew Los Angeles-Auckland between December 2023 and February 2024 (!), and Virgin for years until 2020. Boston-Liberia : begins December 21; weekly A321neo Los Angeles-Brisbane : starts December 4; three times weekly A350-900 Minneapolis-Tulum ( it comes as American pulls Charlotte-Tulum in February ): begins December 21; weekly A319 The nine routes back after two+ years All but one are winter sun destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean.
They recommence before Christmas Day, helping with demand, loads, and fares for festive getaways. They include New York JFK-Barbados, last served eight and a half years ago. They involve 14 airports.
