Delta Airlines has announced it is to increase its service from Edinburgh Airport to New York’s JFK to a year round route.

The airline also operates a summer route from Edinburgh to Atlanta and Boston.

Stephanie Wear, Chief Commercial Officer at Edinburgh Airport said: “Extending this service to year-round is fantastic news for passengers, ensuring continued connectivity to New York and onward to North America through Delta’s hub network.

“Edinburgh Airport already offers a fantastic range of services to the United States, and we are delighted that Delta shares our confidence in the strength of our market and in our role as a key driver of economic growth.

“We look forward to working with our colleagues at Delta to making this extension a success and to exploring opportunities for further improvements in the future.”
