Delta Air Lines has laid out a long list of international routes that will start service or get expanded service next summer.
Says Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president of network planning and revenue management:
“No other airline has the alliance partners, fleet flexibility or network breadth to consistently deliver new routes for customers while at the same time being responsible in managing capacity in the face of a global economic recession.
“As America’s flag carrier to the world, Delta’s 2010 schedule will bring new nonstop service to dozens of communities around the globe, thanks to the strength of our worldwide alliances.”
Delta says the changes “are part of the first fully consolidated schedule published following Delta’s merger with Northwest, allowing the airline to reallocate existing capacity to new routes. Delta also will maintain many of the international route reductions it announced in June in response to decreased global demand.”
