Delta will suspend another route to Germany: by the end of this summer boreal season, it will cease flights between Atlanta and Stuttgart on Boeing 767-300ER. Last year, the company canceled the Dusseldorf route, leaving these two German destinations without transatlantic services. The airline will continue to operate from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Frankfurt and Munich.
Stuttgart is home to Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, also based in Atlanta. This service catered to the market of automotive travelers, the airline for decades has operated out of Stuttgart. Delta customers can access this destination with its transatlantic partners Air France and KLM through their hubs in Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam.
Delta established itself as the U.S. airline flying to the most destinations in Germany with a total of five, now with the cancellation of the Stuttgart route the number is reduced to three, the same number as United Airlines. Delta’s German network has year-round flights to Frankfurt and Munich, and seasonal service to Berlin.
