Delta Air Lines announced its first-ever nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Manila. Beginning March 28, 2027, the carrier will become the only US carrier to offer nonstop service between the two gateways, further expanding Delta’s growing network from Los Angeles aboard its Airbus A350-900.

Jeff Arinder, Delta’s vice president of network planning, said, “Customers traveling through Los Angeles continue to benefit from Delta’s investments in LAX, including an expanding Asia-Pacific network and the opening of our second Delta One Lounge.” The addition of Manila, he said, “builds on the world-class travel experience our customers have come to expect from Delta while strengthening our position as LAX’s leading global carrier and premier West Coast hub.” 

In the past year alone, according to the airline, Delta has expanded its LAX network with new service to Hong Kong, Melbourne and Chicago, and a return to Shanghai. The carrier has also announced upcoming service to Vancouver, Newark and now Manila, and introduced its largest-ever schedule to Florida.
