On the occasion of yesterday's opening of the US borders to vaccinated travelers, Delta Air Lines is presenting connections to and from Europe, which will be resumed in summer 2022 or will be added to the route network.

The US carrier's summer flight schedule will offer 90 percent more capacity across the pond next year. In total, Delta is planning up to 73 daily flights from 25 European cities to ten US destinations. As part of this considerable expansion, some destinations are also returning to the airline's route network: Brussels (BRU), Copenhagen (CPH), Edinburgh (EDI), Munich (MUC), Prague (PRG) and Zurich (ZRH) are being added for the first time since during the pandemic again flew directly from Delta. Together with airline partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, travelers would have even more non-stop options to a total of 21 cities in the United States.

“With the lifting of the entry restrictions to the USA and abroad, the rising vaccination rates and the enormous pent-up demand, travel to and from Europe is expected to increase by leaps and bounds next summer. We are therefore focusing on re-offering the routes and destinations that are particularly popular with our customers, ”said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President - Network Planning.
