Delta Air Lines is set to reinstate its seasonal daily flight service between Rio de Janeiro and New York City. The flights will run from December 20, 2024, through March 27, 2025, using Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with a capacity of 215 passengers. This route aims to enhance cultural exchanges and strengthen economic ties between Brazil and the United States.

The airline offers various seating options on this route. Delta One features 25 seats that convert into beds, complete with Grown Alchemist skincare products. Passengers can pre-select meals via the Fly Delta app. Delta Premium Select provides wider seats with more recline than the Main Cabin, including artisan-made amenity kits by Someone Somewhere. Delta Comfort+ offers dedicated overhead bin space in the main cabin, while Main Cabin seats come equipped with individual entertainment screens.

Ricardo de Oliveira, Delta's Regional Sales Manager in Brazil, stated, "The return of the Rio de Janeiro (GIG)–New York (JFK) route is crucial for Delta and our customers in both countries." He added that the resumption coincides with high travel demand during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer.
