Wherever your customers’ travels take them, Delta Air Lines and its expanded Joint Venture (EJV) partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic are offering more convenience, connectivity and a vast choice of exciting destinations to discover this winter. 

Time to explore

Whether they are flying for business, leisure, or perhaps a mix of both, Delta Air Lines, Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, have your customers covered with an unrivalled network of 375 combined destinations between the U.S., the U.K. and Europe. 

This winter, customers will benefit from an increased choice of convenient flight schedules and travel options from nine hubs in the United States and three hubs in Europe - Amsterdam, Paris-CDG and London Heathrow. Together, the partner airlines offer the largest-ever transatlantic winter schedule, with over 880 weekly transatlantic flights to 26 destinations within Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, with onward connections to over 150 cities.  In fact, the airlines offer 17 of the top 20 nonstop routes between North America and Europe. 

Experience elevated

The airlines’ joint venture offers customers many benefits, such as aligned schedules and seamless connectivity, which are more important to customers than ever. 

And, whichever airline they fly, Delta, Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic have worked closely to develop a suite of consistent products and services that ensure every traveller enjoys an industry-leading customer experience. From greater availability of premium economy cabins and the comfort of a fully flat-bed seat at altitude to in-seat entertainment and delicious cuisine, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. 

When it comes to staying connected, Delta Sky Miles customers enjoy free high-speed Wi-Fi on most domestic U.S. flights, which will be rolled out on international routes throughout 2024. 

All customers enjoy reciprocal loyalty benefits with more opportunities to earn and redeem miles. There’s greater recognition through Corporate Priority, a dedicated service for corporate travelers, and access to a network of award-winning airport lounges for eligible customers. 

A look ahead 

Following a record-setting summer across the Atlantic, customers can look forward to even more opportunities to explore next year. These include new Delta flights from Atlanta to Zurich beginning June 1, 2024, to Ireland from Minneapolis to Boston beginning May 10, 2024 and from New York-JFK to Naples to New York-JFK to Shannon, both beginning May 25, 2024. 

Delta offers more nonstop destinations from New York-JFK to Europe, Africa and the Middle East than any other airline, offering nearly 260 weekly flights next summer to 29 destinations in 18 countries. 

Customers can look forward to new and exciting routes next summer with Virgin Atlantic, too, including London Heathrow to Dubai, São Paulo and Bengaluru, and more flights from Manchester to Las Vegas. 

For the winter season, Air France’s North America capacity is increased 20% versus 2019 including their newest US gateway Raleigh-Durham and new seasonal destinations Tromsø (Norway), Rovaniemi and Kittilä (both Finland), and Innsbruck (Austria). 

KLM’s winter network features increased frequencies between Washington and Amsterdam (now daily versus winter last year), new service to Marseille, France, and seasonal flights to Rovaniemi, Finland. KLM’s Premium Comfort reaches a milestone with it being offered from 9 of their 12 U.S. gateways following the full installation on all 787 Dreamliners. The reconfiguration of 777-300 fleet began last summer and will be complete by March followed by the 777-200s with completion by mid-2024.

We look forward to welcoming your customers on board.
