Summary Seattle-Vancouver will rank first in September. It is one of six Canadian and Mexican markets with 100+ monthly one-way flights. Six long-haul airport pairs have triple daily flights.
Delta Air Lines will be the USA's third-largest international operator in September , although second for long-haul flights. Delta plans an average of 231 daily international take-offs in the examined 30 days (double for both ways). Of course, this is a small part of its total operation, accounting for one in ten services.
Delta's number three position is partly because it is a distant third to Canada and Mexico combined, which have a fifth of the USA's international services. Of course, the carrier's partners Aeromexico and WestJet somewhat offset it. With the main exception of SkyTeam-related countries and African nations, Delta is rarely the leading US operator at the international country level.
Which US airports do you think have grown the most to/from Heathrow?

Atlanta, obviously Delta's busiest hub and the world's busiest airport , has the most international take-offs.
Then there's New York JFK, Minneapolis, Detroit, Seattle, Salt Lake City, New York LaGuardia, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami (really: to Havana), Honolulu, Portland, and Cincinnati. The information in this article is for September only. It will be different at other times.
