Winter Voyage - Delta Plans To Operate More Flights To China From October-End

Delta Air Lines, Inc. DAL is extending its flight schedule to China with ten weekly flights to Shanghai-Pudong International Airport (PVG) from its Seattle (SEA) and Detroit (DTW) hubs, beginning October 29.

And next March, Delta will restart four-times-weekly PVG service from its Los Angeles hub, a route last used in February 2020, the company said.

“As demand continues to increase and the busy travel season to the Asia-Pacific region commences, the Delta team is ready to welcome even more travelers to the region this winter, providing our award-winning customer service on every journey,” said Jeff Moomaw, Delta Vice President - Asia Pacific.

American Airlines Group, Inc AAL will also reportedly handle more flights to China shortly to leverage the robust travel demand in the Asia-Pacific province.

American Airlines will begin daily operations from Dallas-Fort Worth to Shanghai Pudong International Airport in January, Reuters reported.

The report added that the Biden administration mentioned last week that the U.S. and China would consent twice the number of passenger flights currently permitted for air carriers to fly between the two countries.

Price Action: DAL shares are up by 0.30% to $42.80 premarket on the last check Thursday.
