Starting in November, the United States will open its borders to vaccinated travelers from Europe. In the course of this, Delta Air Lines is expanding the range of flights from Germany.
From December 14, 2021, the US airline will resume the connection from Frankfurt am Main to New York-JFK and operate the route daily with an Airbus A330-200. DL107 takes off from Frankfurt at 09:50 a.m. and reaches the Big Apple after around nine hours of flight time at 13 p.m. local time. The connection to New York will complement the existing daily connection from Frankfurt to Atlanta, which was maintained during the pandemic.
After a pandemic-related suspension of flights to Germany's second largest airport, Delta will also return to Munich in December: From December 14, the Bavarian capital will initially be connected to the airline's hub in Atlanta four times a week. DL131 leaves Munich at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and lands in the US state of Georgia at 15:50 p.m. local time. The flights are carried out with a Boeing 767-300.
"We look forward to welcoming our passengers back on board as soon as the entry restrictions for the USA are lifted next month," says Thomas Brandt, Delta Regional Sales Manager for Germany and Eastern Europe. “There is a lot of catching up to do for families, friends and business travelers who can get back together after 18 months of separation. And as we approach Christmas time, there is also a lot to celebrate when these flights resume. "
