Delta unveils new 2009 flights with eye toward integrating NWA

Thursday November 13, 2008 Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines, which closed their merger last month, said they are aiming to integrate their flight schedule by next summer as DL unveiled new flights intended to increase connectivity between the two networks and expand its global reach.
DL plans to launch 15 new international routes in June to coincide with the network integration. It will start daily 777-200ER flights between JFK and Tokyo Narita as well as five-times-weekly A330-200 Salt Lake City-NRT and daily 757-200 NRT-Ho Chi Min services. It will add a second-daily Atlanta-NRT flight on May 4.
"We want to plug in Delta's massive access on the East Coast to Northwest's transpacific strength," Executive VP-Network Planning and Revenue Management Glen Hauenstein said. He told reporters in a conference call yesterday that the new DL intends to keep all current DL and NWA hubs operating as hubs, creating "a stronger platform to take customers from all over the United States to destinations around the globe" (ATWOnline, Oct. 31).
New DL flights to Africa from ATL will go to Johannesburg (daily on a 777-200LR), Nairobi (four-times-weekly on a 767-300ER), Monrovia (weekly on a 757-200ER), Abuja (twice-weekly on a 757-200ER), Luanda (twice-weekly on a 757-200ER), Malabo (weekly on a 757-200ER) and Cape Town (thrice-weekly on a 767-300ER). It also will launch five-times-weekly JFK-Lagos 767-300ER flights.
New DL flights from JFK to Europe will comprise Gothenburg Landvetter (four-times-weekly on a 757-200ER), Prague (thrice-weekly on a 767-300), Valencia (four-times-weekly on a 757-200ER) and Zurich (daily for the summer season aboard 757-200ERs). It will add a second four-times-weekly flight between JFK and Tel Aviv on June 30.
Additionally, NWA revealed yesterday that it will drop Detroit-Paris Charles de Gaulle flights in January and DTW-Osaka Kansai on Feb. 28. Hauenstein noted that SkyTeam partner Air France operates DTW-CDG and that DL will launch NRT-Osaka flights next year.
It said starting in January it will boost "hub-to-hub" capacity by 14.5% by operating both additional flights and larger aircraft between Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, New York JFK and Memphis. It plans to replace "select regional jet flights with mainline equipment" on flights from ATL to MEM, MSP, CVG and DTW. It also will add a third-daily SLC-DTW flight and launch daily SLC-MEM and JFK-MEM services.
