Delta grows Virgin partnership on trans-Atlantic routes

Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines are boosting flights between the UK and US from next summer, which sees Delta join Virgin in serving Gatwick Airport together for the first time.

It means that between the two airlines, capacity across the Atlantic has increased by nearly 10,000 seats per week over the last year, offering customers unrivalled customer experience and more choice than ever before.

Gatwick will become Delta’s seventh trans-Atlantic destination served non-stop from Boston when flights begin on May 22nd.

One day before, Virgin Atlantic will launch a daily flight to New York-JFK from Gatwick.

Together the airlines will offer up to four daily flights to three US cities next summer.
