Delta to drop last remaining Gatwick service
Delta Air Lines has dropped its daily flight from London Gatwick to Atlanta and has switched it to Heathrow.
The move means the airline will offer a double daily service from Heathrow to its Atlanta hub from April 18.
The flight will be operated with a 246-seat Boeing 767-400ER aircraft, which offers offer 39 full 180-degree flat-bed seats in BusinessElite.
The flight begins shortly before the opening of the new Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson.
The switch means Delta will no longer operate any flights from Gatwick. Flights to New York JFK were dropped in 2008 and Cincinnati the following year.
