Starting in May, Delta Air Lines will run flights from Edinburgh to the American city seven days a week. While the service was initially set to operate five times per week, it will now run daily in the summer season, due to strong demand for transatlantic travel. The flights will run every day, from May 25 to September 5.

Delta will also operate daily services on all its Edinburgh Airport routes this summer, including the all-year round New York JFK service, as well as its two seasonal routes to Boston and Atlanta.

Clare Black, Delta’s General Manager Home Markets, added: “Delta is delighted to be offering daily nonstop service to Atlanta - the world’s leading hub and gateway to the Americas - which will allow even more opportunities for travel between Edinburgh and the United States.”
