Delta Air Lines resumes Atlanta-Brussels flights after five-year pause

Cirium data indicates that Delta previously operated daily services between Atlanta and Brussels during the summer of 2019 before the pandemic led to their suspension in early 2020. While the JFK connection resumed in 2022, the Atlanta-Brussels route has remained inactive until now.

Brussels is recognized as a major business hub and tourist destination in Europe. The airport served nearly 27 million passengers annually before the pandemic and expects over one million passengers during the upcoming holiday season.

Next summer, Delta aims to run almost 100 daily flights across Europe, offering over 750,000 monthly seats each way. Destinations include cities like Amsterdam, Stockholm, Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, Dublin, Edinburgh, Rome among others.

As reported by AeroRoutes.com:

"Atlanta – Amsterdam" sees changes effective June with an A330neo replacing an A330-300; further adjustments occur in August with an A330-300 substituting for an A350-900.

"Atlanta – Dublin" undergoes equipment shifts between March and April involving B767-400ERs and A330-300s.

Similar adjustments affect routes such as "Atlanta – Milan Malpensa," "Atlanta – Munich," "Atlanta – Nice," and "Atlanta – Paris CDG."

In addition to these intercontinental updates out of Atlanta (ATL), Delta will introduce new weekly flights within the US and Latin America during summer weekends on Saturdays only. These include routes from ATL to Bangor (BGR) and Rapid City (RAP), as well as connections from Detroit (DTW) to Punta Cana (PUJ), Bozeman (BZN), Pensacola (PNS), Destin-Fort Walton Beach (VPS), along with Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP) serving Jackson Hole (JAC).
