Delta Air Lines is opening a bookable UK website.
The US carrier, which this week announced the loss of up to 7,000 staff as part of a dramatic cost-cutting exercise, is launching online bookings at www.delta.com/uk.
The site provides access to London and Manchester specific information, special fares and offers, the ability to book tickets, Delta news, frequent flyer enrolment and other tailored travel information.
The airline is offering 2,000 bonus miles to SkyMiles members when they update their profiles online between October 1 and December 31 with the latest e-mail address to opt-in for statements and SkyMiles promotions.
Delta.com managing director Carolyn Rak said: “UK customers represent a growing customer base, and we hope easier access to delta.com will keep them flying Delta. We want customers worldwide to have easy, one-stop online access to Delta and our products.”
Additional country-specific web sites in local languages are planned for later this year.
