Key Takeaways:

Delta will launch service to a new destination in northern Arizona next year.

The carrier announced Thursday that it will serve Flagstaff, in Coconino County, from Salt Lake City starting June 7, 2027. Flights will operate twice daily, year-round.

Delta said SkyWest Airlines will operate the flights under the Delta Connection brand, using Bombardier CRJ-550 aircraft with a “premium configuration.”

Currently, only American Airlines serves Flagstaff Pulliam Airport. It offers flights to Phoenix and Dallas/Fort Worth.

Delta said its new connection will help travelers reach outdoor recreation and sight-seeing destinations in the vicinity of Flagstaff, including Sedona and Grand Canyon National Park.
