American Airlines

Officials at American Airlines said the carrier plans to focus future growth at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) and Charlotte, North Carolina (CLT) because these airports’ charge less for gates space thus offering better value compared to other airports. American will add 15 gates at DFW’s Terminal E and seven gates at CLT.  One of the newest destinations to be serviced from DFW is Reykjavik, Iceland. The daily service will commence on June 7.

Delta Air Lines

Delta will launch or relaunch service on 11 routes this summer. New flights will be available from Atlanta to Lisbon and from New York’s JFK to the Azores, Portugal. Delta will bring international service from Indianapolis to Paris while also relaunching flights to Paris from Pittsburgh and Detroit. It will also begin new flights to Paris and Amsterdam from Los Angeles.

Delta will resume seasonal service from Minneapolis to Reykjavik and from JFK to Copenhagen, Glasgow and Malaga. Delta will also restore service to Dublin from Atlanta and Boston while increasing frequencies from those airports to Amsterdam, Athens and Rome.

Finally, Delta said after a three-year hiatus it plans to reestablish service to Mumbai next year pending government approval. Delta also plans to increase its offerings to other Indian destinations through expanded code-sharing with Jet Airways. This too is subject to government approval.

United Airlines

Matching Delta and American, United said it will offer basic economy-type fares on select European destinations for travel starting June 5, 2018. Consumers must remember that these rates come with extra fees for services that otherwise come standard with regular economy fares along with heavier restrictions.
