In a recent update of the Delta Air Lines reservation system, it was observed that the company seeks to optimize its operations in Buenos Aires (EZE) for the boreal summer of 2024, switching from the Boeing 767-400 (ER) to a higher capacity aircraft for its flights to Atlanta (ATL) and the resumption of its flights to New York (JFK) from the Argentine capital.
Starting from October 2024, Delta will introduce the Airbus A330-300 on the Atlanta-Buenos Aires route, replacing the current Boeing 767-400 (ER), which represents a 15% increase in seating capacity. The company operated the Airbus A330 on this route until October 2019, with daily flights since mid-2017.
Throughout 2023, Delta transported 132,787 passengers on the Atlanta-Buenos Aires route, achieving an average occupancy rate of 87%. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the airline’s largest base, facilitating connections to various destinations through its extensive network.
Additionally, the airline will reestablish its Buenos Aires – New York route, resuming on October 26, 2024, which was initially introduced during the Northern Hemisphere summer season of 2023/2024. The Buenos Aires – New York service recorded optimum performance during its first month of operations, transporting 10,476 passengers with an occupancy rate of 77%, according to ANAC Argentina.
According to Cirium, Delta consolidates its position as the second-largest airline between Argentina and the United States, with a market share of 20% in terms of seat capacity.
