Gatwick loses Delta

Delta Air Lines is to drop its Gatwick – Atlanta service from 17 April.  It first flew the route in 1978.  This leaves Air Transat (Toronto all year around plus summer only destinations), charter operator Sun Country (Minneapolis-St Paul) and US Airways (Charlotte) as the only North American airlines now established at the airport.  At the same time Heathrow – Atlanta goes twice daily.

This summer Delta will operate nine daily flights out of Heathrow this summer, including services to Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, New York-JFK and Minneapolis-St Paul, all flown by 246-seat 767-400ER aircraft with the new full flat-bed product in BusinessElite plus Economy Comfort and Economy.

From Manchester, Delta offers daily service to Atlanta and summer seasonal service to New York-JFK.  These are operated with a smaller Boeing 767-300. www.delta.com
