Heathrow options for Delta

Air France

Delta Air Lines has announced what it is planning to do with its London Heathrow flights, with a joint venture with Air France to start new transatlantic services. Air France is to drop four services between Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle and free up space for Delta to begin flights - three of its Heathrow slots will now transfer to Delta. Both carriers will share revenues and costs on transatlantic routes.

Delta will operate two Heathrow to JFK flights a day, one from Heathrow to Atlanta and one from Charles de Gaulle to Salt Lake City. Air France is to start a Los Angeles service from the London hub in April next year. Delta is also significantly increasing its French operation, with new services from Paris Orly to JFK, as well as a Charles de Gaulle to Salt Lake City.
