Delta Air Lines will operate exclusively from Heathrow Terminal 3 from next month.
The move means Delta and partner Virgin Atlantic will now operate from the same terminal making it easier for customers to manage their travel plans including any last-minute flight changes.
On September 14 Delta will transfer its Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Philadelphia flights from Heathrow’s Terminal 4 to join its services to New York-JFK, Boston and Seattle that already operate from Terminal 3.
In total, Delta will operate 11 daily flights to eight US cities non-stop from Terminal 3.
The two airlines’ summer schedule includes up to 40 daily non-stop flights between North America and the U.K, of which, 28 operate between Heathrow and the US.
Delta senior vice president Europe, Middle East and Africa Nat Pieper said: "This enhances the travel experience for customers flying from Heathrow and marks a major milestone in our joint venture."
Virgin executive vice president, commercial, Erik Varwijk, said: "Once the switch goes ahead, our customers can enjoy an even more seamless experience flying from or through London.
