Posted on: Tuesday, 20 May 2008, 06:00 CDT
Delta Air Lines has announced that it will launch a new nonstop service from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Kuwait City, beginning November 7, 2008.
The new Kuwait service is expected to strengthen Delta's position in the region, complementing existing service from Atlanta to Dubai and Tel Aviv; from New York-JFK to Istanbul and Tel Aviv; and new service from New York-JFK to Cairo starting June 5, 2008 and Amman starting June 6, 2008.
Based on its continued success in the Dubai market, in October 2008, Delta will increase to daily its flights between Atlanta and Dubai.
The passengers on Delta's flights between Atlanta and Kuwait, Dubai and Tel Aviv travel on Boeing 777-200ER aircraft while flights between New York-JFK and Istanbul, Amman, Cairo and Tel Aviv operate on Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
Glen Hauenstein, executive vice president of network and revenue management, said: "Traffic between the US and the Middle East is one of the fastest growing regions in aviation. With 37 weekly frequencies, Delta now offers more service to the Middle East than all other US carriers combined so, when your plans call for travel to the Middle East, Delta is ready when you are."
