As Delta works to restart service in line with the lifting of travel restrictions, potential vaccine availability and the gradual return of demand, customers will see more trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights to top business and leisure destinations for the winter 2020-2021 and summer 2021 seasons. While the airline expects pre-COVID level recovery for international flying to continue to lag U.S. domestic, Delta plans to add over 50 transoceanic flights next summer, compared to the summer 2020 schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta will focus its strengths in its core markets and with the support of its partners, offer customers a wide array of onward connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile significant hurdles remain in the global fight against the pandemic, we are ready to connect customers to the people, places, opportunities and experiences they\u2019re longing for,\u201d said Joe Esposito, S.V.P. \u2013 Network Planning. \u201cCustomers flying internationally can look forward to a modernized fleet featuring our latest cabin products and a travel experience that prioritizes their health and the health of our employees from check-in to baggage claim.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As customers consider future travel, whether international or domestic, Delta\u2019s\u00a0multi-layered approach to their health and safety\u00a0ensures peace of mind throughout the travel journey. These include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sanitizing all aircraft with electrostatic spraying before departure and extensive pre-flight disinfection of high-touch points throughout the aircraft interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Using state-of-the-art air circulation systems with HEPA filters that extract more than 99.99% of particles, including viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Blocking all middle seats\u00a0and limiting the number of customers per flight through Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Requiring face masks throughout the airport, in Delta Sky Clubs and on board the aircraft<\/p>\n\n\n\n
