Delta Air Lines (Delta) is restarting its non-stop flights between New York – JFK and Venice Marco Polo Airport. The flights will operate daily using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 216 seats.
Additionally, for the first time, the airline will offer two flights from Venice to Atlanta – resuming its non-stop service later this month and adding a second service throughout the summer. In total, Delta will operate 17-weekly flights between Venice and the U.S. during peak season with connections to more than 200 cities across North America and beyond.
Camillo Bozzolo, Aviation Development Director of the SAVE Group commented: “The resumption of Delta Air Lines connections to the hubs of New York and Atlanta confirms the constant growth of flows between Venice and North America, which with over one million passengers in the last year have largely exceeded the volumes of 2019.” He added, “The increase to ten-weekly frequencies on the Venice-Atlanta route will further expand the offer of destinations in connection with North, Central and South America”.
As part of Delta's US$12 billion airport terminal investments, frequent flyers will enjoy new premium lounges at New York – JFK and other U.S. destinations including Boston and Los Angeles to boost the customer experience. Connecting customers will also benefit from the upgrades at Delta's JFK Terminal 4, enabling easier transfer to over 60 onward connections.
Delta's summer 2024 schedule between New York – JFK and Venice will operate in cooperation with its European partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic.
