Delta Air Lines has decided to discontinue its Orlando to London route, which it introduced in 2024. This move leaves fewer travel options between these popular cities. The airline's exit means that British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Norse Atlantic Airways will serve the route during the winter season.
The aviation analytics company Cirium’s Diio Mi reports that Delta Air Lines has canceled its four weekly flights between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR). These flights, which started in November 2024, had an average occupancy rate of 69.93%.
As a result, there will be 20 weekly flights from Orlando to London in November. British Airways and Norse Atlantic have scheduled flights to London Gatwick Airport (LGW), offering daily and thrice-weekly services, respectively. Virgin Atlantic will provide ten weekly flights to Heathrow from Orlando. During the same period in 2024, these airlines recorded an average load factor of 86.31%, with Delta having the lowest.
