Delta Air Lines is set to expand its transatlantic service between Atlanta and Edinburgh this summer, marking a record operation for the Scottish capital. The airline plans to operate 10 weekly flights from early June to September, utilizing Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. This increase comes after Delta resumed its seasonal service in May 2023.
According to Cirium Diio data, Delta first launched the Atlanta-Edinburgh route in June 2006 but discontinued it shortly after due to the Global Financial Crisis. The service was reintroduced in May 2023 and will now begin earlier on April 15, 2025, with four weekly flights before increasing to daily operations by late May.
In August, Delta's schedule includes two departures from Edinburgh within an hour: one at 09:00 and another at 10:00. The aircraft for the earlier flight will be the same that arrives from Boston.
