Delta resumes Brussels-New York-JFK service on March 27
As travel demand rebounds, Delta is back in Brussels after two years, restarting nonstop service to New York-JFK, effective 27 March 2022. Flights will initially operate five times a week, increasing to a daily operation on May 10 and will offer customers increased choice to destinations across the U.S., including Orlando, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, thanks to convenient onward connections via Delta’s New York-JFK hub.
“As post-covid travel restrictions ease, we’re seeing increased demand for travel as Belgians rediscover the U.S. while Americans enjoy Belgium’s picturesque cities and beautiful countryside or reconnect with colleagues on business trips,” said Nicolas Ferri, Delta’s VP Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. “With our nonstop service bringing new onboard products and experiences to the market, Delta is offering something for every customer flying to or from Belgium, and we’re looking forward to contributing to the continued recovery of the country’s economy and tourism industry.”
Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce said that Belgium’s bilateral trade with the United States totalled more than $48.4 billion in 2020. The OEC, meanwhile, reports that in 2019, Belgium exported goods worth $25.1bn to United States, with pharma and refined petroleum among the largest exports. Exports from Belgium to United States increased at an annualized rate of 5.17%, from $9.15bn in 1999 to $25.1bn in 2019.
Now in its 30th year of flying, Delta’s services to the Big Apple are returning with new experiences including Delta Premium Select, a new superior cabin on international routes, and a focus on more sustainable products onboard. The airline will be offering more than 1,505 weekly seats during the peak travel months, including 175 seats in Delta One business class and 126 in the Delta Premium Select cabin.
