Delta (DAL) to Initiate New Services From Boston in 2022
Delta Air Lines DAL recently announced a major service expansion out of Boston, MA for 2022. The airline is set to introduce five new routes next summer.
The airline will launch new nonstop service to Tel Aviv and Athens from Boston, complementing its existing flights to Amsterdam and Rome. It will also build on the airline’s returning pre-pandemic service to Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London and Paris.
The Tel Aviv and Athens services, which will be operational three times a week, are set to begin from May 26 and May 27, respectively. While the company will operate the Boston-Athens route on the Airbus A330-300 aircraft, it will operate the Tel Aviv route on the A330-900 aircraft. With these jets, customers can choose from lie-flat beds in Delta One (A330-300) or Delta One Suites (A330-900), Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
