Delta Heads for China!
 
Thanks to your support, Delta Air Lines is poised to add nonstop flights between the world’s largest airline hub in Atlanta and Shanghai, China, effective March 30, 2008*. This new route will fill a critical void in service by connecting the more than 65,000 residents of the U.S. Southeast with the world’s fastest growing economy.

Delta would like to thank the large coalition of business and community leaders from across the Southeast, and the nearly 70,000 employees, frequent flyers and others from across the country and abroad who signed the e-petition to support our efforts to make Atlanta the “Next Gateway to China”. We look forward to seeing you onboard our new flights next spring! Read more…

*Subject to foreign government approval.

  •  Delta serves more worldwide destinations than any other carrier but is the largest U.S. international carrier currently without nonstop service to China.


  •  Delta’s new service will significantly improve access to China for customers in nearly 150 destinations in the Eastern United States.


  •  The Southeastern United States – home to more than 65 million people – currently lacks direct service to China.


  •  Delta’s flagship hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s largest airline hub. Delta and Delta Connection carriers offer more than 1,000 peak-day departures to 257 nonstop destinations from Atlanta – more nonstop flights and destinations than any airline in the world.


  •  Delta’s airport hub in Atlanta is one of the fastest growing international gateways in the U.S., with more than 20 new international markets added in the last year.
