Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), the world’s largest airline, has announced the start of two additional nonstop flights between France and the United States with the airline’s first-ever nonstop service between Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport and Raleigh-Durham, N.C. and Pittsburgh. The new routes, enabled by Delta’s successful joint venture with Air France, will offer customers in both cities convenient connections to more than 90 cities in Europe via Air France’s Paris hub.
Delta will make history in Pittsburgh and Raleigh-Durham with its new flights. The new trans-Atlantic route from Pittsburgh will be the only nonstop transatlantic service offered by any airline from the city. The new route from Raleigh-Durham will be Delta’s first-ever nonstop trans-Atlantic flight offered from North Carolina and will be operated from Raleigh’s terminal two, the airport’s newest terminal, which opened Oct. 26.
The new nonstop service from both markets will be launched in June 2009. The routes will be operated by Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
