Delta Air Lines announces another expansion at New York

Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) has announced its latest expansion in New York City, with 12 new daily flights to 11 domestic and Caribbean destinations in spring and summer of 2012.

In March 2012, Delta will add new frequencies between New York-JFK and Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic ; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Delta also will launch new nonstop service between New York-LaGuardia and Nassau, Bahamas . The new and expanded Caribbean routes will serve significant local demand for flights to those markets.
In addition, Delta in June 2012 will add new routes and frequencies to seven U.S. cities from New York-JFK, including Austin, Texas ; Jacksonville, Florida; Kansas City, Missouri; New Orleans; Milwaukee; San Francisco and Los Angeles.

With a new daily flight in each city, Delta will offer a total of eight peak-day flights to Los Angeles and six peak-day to San Francisco from New York-JFK.

Delta also recently received approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation for a slot transaction with US Airways which will allow it to approximately double the number of nonstop destinations it serves from LaGuardia, adding as many as 4 million additional roundtrip seats available at LaGuardia without increasing congestion. Delta will invest $100 million creating an expanded main terminal at LaGuardia, with a new 600-foot connector bridge between terminals D and C.
