Delta Air Lines to resume flying from London Gatwick
Delta Air Lines will expand its UK-US network in 2023 with a returns to London Gatwick for the first time in 15 years.
In total, Delta will offer up to 15 daily flights next summer between the UK and US.
There will be daily year-round service from London Heathrow-Los Angeles, from London Gatwick to New York-JFK, and five weekly Atlanta flights throughout the summer from Edinburgh.
“Adding three routes from the UK in one day is a milestone moment for Delta, especially in one of our most important markets,” said Nicolas Ferri, Delta’s vice president Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.
“This summer saw extremely high demand for travel and by adding more routes and extra frequencies, Delta alongside its partner Virgin Atlantic will provide more options for convenient travel next year.”
Delta’s UK expansion forms part of Delta’s largest ever trans-Atlantic schedule, offering nearly 620 weekly flights to 11 US airports from 32 EMEA airports.
Together with partner Virgin Atlantic, Delta will offer up to 40 daily flights between the UK and the US in summer 2023.
Customers will have a second London gateway to the United States as Delta starts daily nonstop service from Gatwick to New York JFK effective April 11, 2023.
The new Atlanta route to Edinburgh, which starts effective May 26, 2023, complements the airline’s existing service to New York-JFK and Boston from Edinburgh.
