Daily New York-JFK service returns May 28
New daily Atlanta service launches July 2
Delta has confirmed it will resume flights to Athens International Airport from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport starting 28th May, with the mega-carrier operating a daily nonstop service.
The carrier will also start a daily nonstop operation from the airlines home base of Atlanta, for the first time since 2011. "Customers are eager to reclaim their lives and for many, that means travelling again,” said Joe Esposito, S.V.P. – Network Planning. “Outdoor-friendly destinations like Greece are particularly in demand and flying Delta means you can continue to expect award-winning hospitality with new services to make the entire journey more enjoyable, simple and stress-free.”
U.S. travellers to Greece will no longer need to quarantine on arrival if they hold a vaccination certificate or negative PCR test issued up to 72 hours before arrival.
Both the ATL and JFK services will be operated by Airbus A330 aircraft, configured with 293-seats, spread between Delta One - with its full-flat beds, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabins. The jets also include Wi-Fi and personal seat-back entertainment screens.
Delta will also resume and expand its flights to Reykjavík, Iceland for vaccinated travellers, with new service from Boston and restarting services from JFK and Minneapolis/St. Paul starting next month.
