Delta is growing its long-haul network with a new route set to begin in January 2025. The Atlanta-based carrier continues to expand its international portfolio in 2025, announcing seven new European routes just last month.

According to the most recent Cirium Diio schedule update, the airline plans to connect Boston with São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport beginning Jan. 6, 2025. Flights are slated to operate three times per week on an Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

The airline’s partner LATAM operates the same route, which Delta may be replacing, according to airline insider JonNYC on Twitter/X.

A Delta spokesperson confirmed the route addition: “From January 6 to March 27, 2025, Delta will operate flights between Boston and São Paulo-Guarulhos, a route currently served by LATAM. Customers holding tickets for this route during that period will be automatically rebooked onto Delta-operated flights with no changes to their original departure dates.”

Outbound flights operate on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, scheduled to depart Boston at 9:00 a.m. local time before landing in the Brazilian city at 8:45 p.m.

Return flights are scheduled overnight, leaving São Paulo at 10:45 p.m., and arriving in Boston at 6:40 a.m. the next day. Currently, the route is only scheduled between January and March.

The airline also serves São Paulo from its Atlanta and New York-JFK hubs.

Boston-São Paulo joins several recently-announced 2025 routes by the airline, including Salt Lake City-Seoul along with Minneapolis-Copenhagen.
