Delta Air Lines Adding More International Routes; Number 1 to Europe from US
Is Delta Air Lines flooding the international European market with too many seats?  Will this ultimately lead to their demise?  Delta Air Lines is one of the world's fastest growing international carriers with more than 50 new international routes added in the last year alone.  That seems to be a bit excessive.  Yes, it's okay for the peak summer travel season, but what happens when Autumn and Winter roll around and the carrier's planes are half full?  Was Continental's CEO, Larry Kellner, correct when he said that Atlanta based company will loose their shirts on this.

767_001.jpgDelta Air Lines this week will become the world's largest airline between the United States and Europe in terms of destinations served, seat capacity and weekly flights with the introduction of new and expanded service between the United States and Athens, Greece; Edinburgh, Scotland; Venice, Italy; and Kiev, Ukraine. More than 200 Delta customers enjoyed the new nonstop flight from Atlanta to Athens yesterday, with additional inaugural flights scheduled for customers flying from New York-JFK to Kiev on Thursday; from Atlanta to Edinburgh on Monday; and from Atlanta to Venice on Tuesday.

``Becoming the world's largest airline between the United States and Europe is an exciting milestone in our efforts to reinvent when and where Delta flies to become a truly global airline,'' said Glen Hauenstein, Delta's executive vice president - Network Planning and Revenue Management. ``Since March we have successfully launched 11 new routes across the Atlantic and have significantly increased options for our customers to choose Delta for travel to more global destinations than at any time in our history. We are pleased that our customers are responding favorably to our new services and we look forward to serving a record number of customers across the Atlantic this summer.''
