Airline will double network from Belgium with daily flights to two U.S. hubs.
Delta Air Lines has announced its Brussels-Atlanta service will resume from
March 2017, doubling its network from Belgium. The U.S. airline currently
operates a daily year-round service between Brussels and New York-JFK.
The service, which will begin on March 26, 2017, will be the only nonstop
flight between the Belgian capital and Atlanta and will operate daily
throughout the summer. From Delta’s two U.S. hubs – Atlanta and New
York-JFK – customers will have a combined choice of more than 200 same-day
onward connections throughout the United States, including the popular
cities of Los Angeles, Orlando and San Francisco. All flights from Belgium
are operated in conjunction with joint venture partners Air France, KLM and
Alitalia.
