Delta Air Lines expands its European network for the 2023 summer boreal season with 9 routes and two new destinations including Geneva (GVA), where the airline’s last service to that city was in 1993. The airline is adding 8% more seats on its transatlantic flights compared to summer 2022.
Much of the new service is from its major transatlantic hubs including Atlanta (ATL) and New York (JFK), plus it will reconnect Los Angeles (LAX) to the Old Continent. Delta’s last nonstop service between Europe and LAX was completed in March 2020.
