Delta Air Lines Just Made a Major Announcement

Summertime travel often involves taking a flight to a special destination, and Delta Air Lines is one of the biggest airlines in the U.S. According to Simple Flying, as of February, Delta was the No. 2 largest airline in the U.S. by flights with 4,266 average roundtrip flights per day, only second to American, with 5,625 average roundtrip flights per day. According to the tally, Delta is also the No. 2 largest airline in the world.

As the years progress, airlines often add and delete routes, based on travel interests that change. Now, Delta Air Lines has announced that starting this fall, they're adding a particular international route to their offerings.

Delta is giving passengers more options to visit various spots in South America. Beginning on Nov. 19, the airline will add more flights, as well as a next-generation plane, for its route from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) to Buenos Aires' Ezeiza International Airport (EZE).

Beginning No. 19, Delta will increase its offerings to Buenos Aires with a second daily frequency between Atlanta and Buenos Aires. The schedule will include three weekly flights from Nov. 19 to Dec. 9; daily service during the peak summer season from Dec. 10 to Jan. 18, 2026; and then, the return of the three weekly flight schedule from Jan. 19 to March 28, 2026.

In addition to the increased frequency to Buenos Aires, the airline is "upgrading its equipment on the regular Atlanta-Buenos Aires service by introducing the state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo to replace the current Airbus A330-300," according to Aviation A to Z. The outlet adds, "The A330-900neo features 29 Delta One suites with fully reclining seats, luxurious bedding, privacy doors, and exclusive in-flight dining services including curated meals, premium beverages and specialty snacks."

The increased routes comes as Delta is "making a larger push into South America, Central America and the Caribbean," according to Travel Pulse.

Delta also reported March quarter 2025 financial results on April 9, noting, "We expect June quarter profitability of $1.5 to $2 billion. Given the lack of economic clarity, it is premature at this time to provide an updated full-year outlook."
