Expansion follows on investment in Latin American airline LATAM >>

Delta Air Lines will add 13 daily nonstop flights from Miami to US destinations. This follows its $1.9 billion investment in Latin American carrier LATAM Airlines. The flights will link Miami International Airport to several of Delta’s hubs and other core cities including Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, Salt Lake City and Tampa. As a result of this expansion, the carrier will offer 41 daily nonstop flights between 10 US airports and Miami. All the new routes will be flown with Embraer 175 aircraft and begin in May, except for the Miami-Salt Lake City connection, which will be operated on Boeing 737-800 aircraft and begin on July 28. Delta said the flights will be timed to maximize connectivity with LATAM flights to Central and South America. The carrier said in a statement that together Delta and LATAM “will create the most comprehensive combined carrier network throughout the Americas, carrying more passengers between North and South America than any other partnership.”
