Delta is adding a new transcontinental route in 2027.
Starting April 12, 2027, the carrier will connect Newark, New Jersey, with Los Angeles. Flights will operate twice daily, using Airbus A321neo aircraft.
Delta currently offers service between Los Angeles and New York-JFK. Additional flights to the New York metro area, officials said, will expand travel options and give customers more flexibility.
“Los Angeles plays a central role in Delta’s network, and this new nonstop service to Newark reflects our commitment to connecting customers across key business markets,” Scott Santoro, vice president of Los Angeles and West Coast sales at Delta, said in a news release. “By offering twice-daily flights on our Airbus A321neo, we’re delivering more choice, comfort, and reliable connectivity between the East and West Coasts.”
The airline is also adding two seasonal routes, between New York-LaGuardia and Melbourne, Florida, and between Austin, Texas, and Fort Myers, Florida.
The New York-Melbourne connection will commence Dec. 19 and run through May 2, 2027, with weekend flights on Saturdays and Sundays. The route was last served by the carrier in 2008.
Service between Austin and Fort Myers will operate on Saturdays only from Nov. 21 to April 10, 2027. Delta will operate the route using A220-300 aircraft.
