Delta Airlines Expands European Network While Ending Select Domestic Routes
Anonymous
Delta plans to expand its European network for summer 2027 with seasonal Boston–Venice and Detroit–Athens flights, as well as Austin–Paris service. The airline will end its seasonal Seattle–Philadelphia nonstop route after its final flights in November, citing customer demand; Alaska and American will continue to serve the route. Delta plans to launch daily Philadelphia–Los Angeles flights in June 2027 and expand Seattle–Los Angeles service. It is also scheduled to end its daily New York JFK–Dallas/Fort Worth route in early January 2027, after years of reduced service amid competition from American Airlines.
