Delta Air Lines will launch a seasonal service connecting JFK International Airport with Rio de Janeiro’s Rio Galeão Airport, starting December 16. The route will operate daily on a Boeing 767-300.
“Since implementing our joint venture, we’ve been working closely with LATAM to introduce exciting new routes that are expanding opportunities for customers travelling between the US and South America,” says Alex Antilla, Delta VP for Latin America.
Delta will also launch a new seasonal service between JFK and Buenos Aires, starting October 28. The route will also operate daily, using a Boeing 767-400 aircraft. Delta already offers a year-round daily service between its Atlanta hub and Buenos Aires.
