Delta's additional service out of India

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JULY 22. Effective November 2, Delta Airlines will be offering an additional daily flight between Mumbai and Atlanta via Frankfurt. The additional service will be available till March next year.

This daily seasonal service will give Delta's customers from India a second option to fly to Europe and the U.S. as it complements the airlines' existing year-round service from Mumbai to New York via Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in France.

The service allows passengers travelling from India to connect to Delta's non-stop daily services at Frankfurt on to Delta's U.S. gateways including Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — the airline's hub and the New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky International Airport.

"We are launching this seasonal flight in response to heavy demand for service between India, Europe, and the U.S. Through our own service and through that of our code share and alliance partners, Delta remains committed to providing customers with service to and from the global key destinations", explains Dieter Hofele, General Manager-India, of the foreign carrier.

At present, Delta Airlines itself operates daily services out of Mumbai to New York via Paris and under a code share arrangement with Air France, the airline provides a daily connection to the U.S.
