Delta to launch new transatlantic flight from Glasgow
Delta Air Lines will launch a new flight from Glasgow to New York next year following the successful launch two weeks ago of its inaugural service between Edinburgh and JFK.
The new service will begin on May 26 and will be the only non-stop flight between Glasgow and New York-JFK.
It will operate daily throughout the summer.
From JFK, passengers will have a choice of 60 same-day onward connections throughout the US, including to Los Angeles, Orlando and San Francisco.
The flight will be operated in conjunction with Virgin Atlantic and this new service adds to Virgin’s seasonal service from Glasgow to Orlando.

"As a core component of our global strategy, we are eager to build our network across the U.K. and this new flight shows our commitment to Scotland," said Dwight James, Delta’s senior vice president transatlantic.
"With this service, Delta will operate from four airports in Scotland and England offering our customers more choice of local services to reach their chosen US destination, as well as offering tourism and business opportunities for Scotland."
Delta will also launch a new flight from Heathrow to Portland, Oregon next May.
