Delta Air Lines is boosting trans-Atlantic ties with the Midwest, announcing two new routes for next year.
In collaboration with joint venture partners Air France KLM and Alitalia, Delta will operate daily flights from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Rome, and six flights a week from Detroit to Munich starting May 26, 2016.
"Detroit to Munich is important for our corporate customers, while Minneapolis-St. Paul to Rome is a strong addition to our existing hub service from Rome. Our customers can expect premium amenities and the best service in their travels across the Atlantic with Delta," said Dwight James, senior vice president – Trans-Atlantic at Delta.
Rome becomes Delta’s fifth long haul international service from the Twin Cities and will be the 10th peak-day flight between the US and Italy next summer.
The Munich service will be Detroit’s second Delta operated daily flight to Germany and will be flown on Boeing 767-400ER aircraft.
Delta has already announced a further three new trans-Atlantic routes for next summer including New York-JFK to Edinburgh, Salt Lake City to London-Heathrow and Raleigh-Durham to Paris.
"Our five new routes will complement our returning seasonal service for a full summer of trans-Atlantic flying in 2016," James added.
