LONDON, England – Delta Air Lines will significantly grow its presence at London’s Heathrow Airport when its partnership with Virgin Atlantic comes into force later this year. Heathrow is the world’s top business destination: of the top 10 transatlantic corporate markets, 8 of them are to London Heathrow. Delta and Virgin expect to jointly offer 21 daily flights from London Heathrow to the U.S. by the end of 2013.
Speaking in London Ed Bastian, Delta’s president said: “London Heathrow is the most important access point for corporate travellers and that was the driving force behind our decision to invest in Virgin Atlantic,” He added, “Given the constraints on growth at Heathrow, our partnership with Virgin will enable us to expand our presence at this airport and level the field a little with our competitors, while offering customers even more in terms of choice and benefits.”
Effective 31 March, Delta will launch a third daily service between Heathrow and Atlanta for a total of nine daily nonstop flights to five U.S. cities: New York-JFK, Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St Paul and Boston. Customers will benefit from almost 30,000 weekly seats offered on Delta flights between Heathrow and the United States this summer.
Poleg tega Delta izvaja številne pomembne naložbe v izdelke in storitve za stranke, ki letijo s Heathrowa, vključno z:
Ponudba popolnoma ravnih sedežev na vseh linijah med Heathrowom in ZDA – več kot 4,700 je na voljo vsak teden v petih mestih v ZDA
Predstavljamo Wi-Fi v čezatlantskih storitvah
Odprtje novega 1.4 milijarde USD vrednega terminala 4 na newyorškem letališču JFK maja letos, da bi znatno izboljšali uporabniško izkušnjo pri prihodih in odhodih JFK-Heathrow
