DELTA AIR LINES EXPANDS NETWORK IN LATIN AMERICA WITH NEW ROUTES ANNOUNCED

With the cold-weather season barely behind us, Delta Air Lines is already looking ahead to next winter and planning out more ways to whisk customers away to warmer climes. 

The Big Four carrier just revealed another expansion to more temperate destinations for the upcoming winter season. It’s adding four routes—two brand-new and two resumptions—bound for Latin America, creating its largest-ever network connecting Americans to the southerly region.

The new routes include fresh service from Detroit to Providenciales, Turks & Caicos, and from Boston to Liberia, Costa Rica. Beginning December 21—prime traveling period for the winter holidays—Delta will connect Motor City to Providenciales, making it the airline’s fourth Caribbean destination reachable from Detroit. 

According to The Points Guy, Cirium schedules show service from the Michigan metropolis is already available to the Caribbean cities of Montego Bay, Jamaica; Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, Delta’s new Boston-to-Liberia flight will commence on January 11, connecting travelers directly to Costa Rica's popular Guanacaste province, known for its stunning natural beauty.

Also on January 11, Delta will resume its previous service from New York to Antigua and St. Kitts. These flights, which haven't operated since 2021 and 2020 respectively, will now provide renewed opportunities for travelers to explore these picturesque Caribbean islands.

These new and returning additions complement Delta's previously announced expansions in Latin America for the forthcoming winter season, which include four new destinations new to the airline: Bridgetown, Barbados; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic; and Mazatlán and Tulum, Mexico.

In addition, Delta will be increasing the frequency of its service on an existing route, bumping up flights from thrice weekly to daily departures bound from Atlanta to Cartagena, Colombia. Delta’s other increased flight schedules to Latin America are already available for sale on its website. 

The cumulative effect of these combined additions has added significantly to Delta’s growth in Latin America over the past few years. This past winter already saw about a 20-percent increase in capacity compared to the winter of 2022-2023, according to Cirium schedules. With the route expansions for the coming winter, Delta will achieve another five-percent capacity increase and operate the heftiest schedule that it has ever offered to that particular region.
