Delta expands into India and Africa

DELTA is expanding its network with the addition of flights from New York’s JFK International Airport to Mumbai, India and Accra, Ghana. Services to Mumbai will commence from November 1 and the route will be operated with the 268-seat Boeing B777-200ER. Delta will discontinue its one-stop service to India (Chennai and Mumbai) via Paris with the launch of the New York/Mumbai route, but will continue to serve Chennai through a codeshare agreement with Air France, pending approval. The Accra service will be launched on December 11 and operated with a 214-seat Boeing 767-300ER. Sue Lewitton (suel@nowmedia.co.za)
