The start of the IATA summer season has brought a number of new and returning destinations to Delta Air Lines’ schedule

Not only is Delta launching 28 seasonal services to the United States from destinations including Copenhagen, Istanbul, Prague and Reykjavik, but the airline is also further expanding its partnership with Virgin Atlantic Airways.

There will be six additional services from the UK, comprising Delta’s new London to Newark, London to Philadelphia and Manchester to New York-JFK flights. Virgin Atlantic, meanwhile, has new daily flights from Manchester to Atlanta, and London to Detroit.
