Delta Air Lines made this announcement about New York City:
- Adding over 100 daily flights in NYC this fall â a 25% capacity increase compared to summer 2021
- Restoring nonstop service to NYCâs top 40 domestic markets
- JFK and LGAâs largest carrier operating over 400 daily flights to 92 destinations
After a summer of recovery, Delta isnât slowing down in bringing back more flights and destinations for New Yorkâs business and leisure travelers alike.
By November, Delta will add more than 100 total daily departures from John F. Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia Airport compared to the airlineâs summer 2021 schedule â translating to approximately 8,000 additional seats each day to the people and places New Yorkers love most.
With domestic consumer travel back to 2019 levels, Delta is focused on restoring capacity safely and reliably as business travel picks up with volumes not seen since the pandemic began.
âWeâre adding 25% more capacity this fall to meet the significant demand for business and international travel going into next year,â said Joe Esposito, Deltaâs S.V.P. â Network Planning. âWe continue to provide more choice and convenience while rebuilding our global connectivity and delivering what Delta does best â putting our customers first with exceptional, reliable service and a premium travel experience.â
Not only will Delta restore nonstop service to all of New Yorkâs 40 most popular domestic markets by next month, but multiple key business markets will also see meaningful boosts in flight options, including Boston (BOS), Washington, D.C. (DCA), Raleigh-Durham (RDU) and Charlotte (CLT). This follows Deltaâs already expanded service to NYCâs biggest corporate markets earlier this fall, like Chicago (ORD), Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) and Houston (IAH) â part of Deltaâs thoughtful approach to adding capacity in line with the return of demand.
Delta also recently launched new LGA service to Toronto (YYZ) and will launch a new flight to Worcester, Massachusetts (ORH) starting Nov. 1.
Delta will offer the most flights and seats of any carrier at JFK and LGA with 400 total daily departures to 92 domestic and international destinations. And every Delta flight at JFK, LGA and EWR will now offer a First Class experience, due to the removal of smaller, 50-seat aircraft from all NYC markets.
Delta has also expanded its Airbus A220 flights in New York, complementing a similar expansion at our rapidly-growing Boston hub, to Chicago (ORD), Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) and Houston (IAH). The A220 offers customers a spacious, modernized experience with the widest Main Cabin seats in our fleet, high-capacity overhead bins and extra-large windows.
