Pittsburgh gets transatlantic service

PITTSBURGH, the one time steel town of America, is again to be linked to Europe with direct non-stop flights.  Both US Airways and BA have in the past withdrawn flights.  Delta Air Lines has launched a new five times per week service to Paris CDG using two-class Boeing 757 aircraft.  At the same time the airline has also introduced a similar operation out of Raleigh-Durham, also five times weekly.  The airline says that the new routing is made possible by Delta's successful joint venture with Air France.  Flight time for both services is about eight hours. www.delta.com
