Delta Air Lines, Boston's No. 1 global carrier, is adding another top destination to its growing nonstop options from Logan International Airport, with new daily nonstop service to Philadelphia, beginning Oct. 1.

"Philadelphia is a Top 10 destination for Bostonians, and we are pleased to offer customers this new service to Delta's growing portfolio of nonstop flights at Logan International Airport," said Joe Esposito, Vice President — Network Planning - Americas. "This schedule provides convenient trip options and amenities, with departures in popular morning and evening time channels and First Class seating on every flight." 

The service will be flown four times daily on CRJ-900 aircraft operated by Delta Connection carrier Endeavor Air on the following schedule:

Boston Logan International Airport – Philadelphia International Airport

Philadelphia International Airport – Boston Logan International Airport

Delta's leading global network in Boston

Philadelphia will be Delta's 51st nonstop destination from Boston Logan, following Las Vegas service that also begins on Oct. 1. Additionally on Oct. 1, Delta will offer a third daily nonstop to Tampa International Airport.

Delta's new service to Philadelphia complements numerous Boston service enhancements made in 2018. This spring, Delta added new seasonal weekend service to New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston, with Charleston service increasing to daily beginning in summer. This leisure expansion continues with new Saturday service to Aruba as of June, marking Delta's sixth destination in the Caribbean from Boston. Additional flights to top business markets begin this summer from Boston to Nashville, Atlanta, Seattle, Kansas City, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh.

Boston serves as an ideal gateway for Philadelphia customers traveling to Europe, with nonstop service to London, Dublin, Paris and Amsterdam. Customers can also fly nonstop from Boston to Rome on Delta partner Alitalia, and Manchester on Delta partner Virgin Atlantic.

Delta's continued investment in Boston will reach 112 peak day departures by this summer, an increase of 19 departures compared with summer 2017 and 29 departures over summer 2016. Delta and its partners will serve 51 total destinations from Boston, including 17 international destinations and the largest trans-Atlantic network.
