Delta is expanding in Boston by announcing its plans to add five nonstop destinations from the city next year. Delta Airlines’ announcement comes a month after rival JetBlue announced plans to fly from Boston to Detroit which is one of the top hubs of Delta. All five of Delta’s new Boston routes as well as two expanded ones go head-to-head with nonstop services provided by JetBlue, which is the top carrier in Boston.
Delta operates new Boston routes with daily nonstop flights to Jacksonville that will begin on 3rd March while flights to Richmond Va., will start from 6th March. Delta connection carrier Endeavor Air will operate flights on 76-seat Bombardier CRJ-900 regional jets. Delta will also provide services to Las Vegas, three times a week starting from 6th March on Boeing 737-800 Jets. The airline is also adding nonstop seasonal Saturday-only service to Nassau in Bahamas and Providenciales in Turks and Caicos. Both routes will begin from 8th March with Bahamas flight on 76 seat Embraer E175 jets while the Turks and Caicos flights will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft.
Delta is also adding two existing Boston routes. It will add a second daily round-trip flight to Los Angeles from 7th April and to Cancun it extend its seasonal service that will now end on 30th August instead of 26th April. In its expansion announcement, Delta noted its new joint-venture partner Virgin Atlantic, which flies nonstop from Boston to London Heathrow. According to Bob Cortelyou, Delta’s SVP for Network Planning, Boston is a key domestic city and the airline is committed to provide more direct service at more convenient times by increasing flights next year.
