Delta customers will continue to have year-round nonstop access to Europe from several U.S. gateways this winter as the airline will run several key routes through the upcoming winter season:
New York-JFK to Lisbon
Los Angeles to Paris and Amsterdam
Indianapolis to Paris
Orlando to Amsterdam
"Delta customers on both sides of the pond have told us more flying between Europe and the U.S. is valuable to them and we're very excited to make more nonstops to the U.S. from Paris, Amsterdam and Lisbon through the winter season a reality," said Dwight James, Delta's Senior Vice President – Trans-Atlantic.
