Delta to drop last remaining Gatwick service

Monday, 24 Feb, 2012 0

Delta Air Lines has dropped its daily flight from London Gatwick to Atlanta and has switched it to Heathrow.

The move means the airline will offer a double daily service from Heathrow to its Atlanta hub from April 18.

The flight will be operated with a 246-seat Boeing 767-400ER aircraft, which offers offer 39 full 180-degree flat-bed seats in BusinessElite.

The flight begins shortly before the opening of the new Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson.

The switch means Delta will no longer operate any flights from Gatwick. Flights to New York JFK were dropped in 2008 and Cincinnati the following year.
