“With over 700 weekly flights to 33 European destinations and beyond, we’re expanding access to key cities like Barcelona and Dublin with new routes, while introducing our first-ever nonstop service to Catania, Sicily,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning. “We’ve also recently opened a stunning Delta One Lounge at JFK, with more to come at LAX, BOS, and SEA. Alongside the rollout of free international Wi-Fi and increased premium seating across our fleet, we’re ensuring our customers enjoy the best in connectivity and comfort from the moment they arrive at the airport to when they touch down.” 

A spotlight on Italy

With Delta’s enhanced Summer 2025 schedule, Italy – a land of timeless beauty and rich cultural history – has never been more accessible. As the largest U.S. carrier in the Italy market, Delta is boosting its service by over 10% year-over-year, providing even more ways for customers to experience la dolce vita.

Additionally, Delta Vacations offers a wide selection of accommodations across the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Milan, and Venice, from top international hotel chains to boutique properties. Travelers can also book private tours of historical sites like the Duomo in Milan and Pompeii near Naples, as well as experiences like chef-guided cooking lessons and private drivers for local exploration.

Catania
Whether savoring a cappuccino in a Sicilian piazza or exploring the stunning vistas of Mount Etna, Catania promises an unforgettable experience.

Now, starting in May 2025, Delta customers can experience it firsthand with the launch of new daily service from New York-JFK to Catania. As the first U.S. airline to offer direct flights to Catania, Delta is opening this long-unserved market, providing travelers unparalleled access to Sicily’s rich heritage and breathtaking landscapes.

Naples
Beginning in May 2025, Delta will launch four-times-weekly service from Atlanta to Naples, connecting travelers to the world-famous Amalfi Coast and the ancient city of Pompeii. This route will complement Delta’s existing New York-JFK to Naples service, launched in summer 2024, adding more opportunities for customers to explore southern Italy’s picturesque charm.
Rome

Delta is adding four weekly flights from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Rome starting in May 2025, linking its second-largest hub to one of the most sought-after European destinations. With MSP joining Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and New York-JFK, Delta will offer direct service to Rome from five U.S. hubs, further enhancing access to the Eternal City.

Milan

For travelers drawn to Milan’s elegance, Delta will launch four weekly flights from Boston to Milan in May 2025, filling a crucial gap as Boston’s largest unserved European market. This route complements Delta’s existing Milan service from New York-JFK and Atlanta.
