The action is the most recent in Delta’s efforts to recover the full capacity of its network. Today, Delta Air Lines revealed that this winter, it would offer the most extensive schedule of flights to Latin America. When compared to December and January 2022, Delta will provide 20% extra seats.
Delta Air Lines
Based on today’s report, Atlanta-based airline Delta Air Lines anticipates a full recovery of travel to Latin America in December and January, even a small amount of increase.
This year, the airline is providing 20% more seats, from December 16 to January 7, making it the busiest holiday schedule ever in Latin America. Almost 25,000 outbound seats will be available daily on Delta flights from its several hubs to 44 destinations in the area.
Latin American
Over the holiday season, Delta will increase the number of flights on 16 of its Latin American routes, concentrating on those leaving from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.
The airline is adding more flights from New York (JFK), San Juan, Santo Domingo, and Santiago to the top three Latin American destinations, in addition to a few more cities.

After only using 85% of its pre-pandemic capacity in 2022, the carrier is now attempting to rebuild its complete network. US Airline Traffic Data’s report, which was published yesterday, states that American airlines have returned to 92% of their pre-pandemic levels. The recovered international capacity was 88.9%.
After a three-year break brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta Air Lines informed a report at the beginning of this month that it will be resuming its flights to Cozumel.
Three days ago, the international communications giant Viasat declared that an additional 1,000 Delta planes would receive its inflight connectivity system.

The new contract applies to all of Delta’s widebody aircraft, including the Boeing 767 and Airbus A330. Viasat technology will also be found on Airbus A220s and the forthcoming Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
By 2024, all of Delta’s planes will have free Internet, the CEO of Delta announced in early February. On 80% of the carrier’s planes starting on February 1, the complimentary service was offered.
Almost 500 aircraft had WiFi installed by teams under the direction of Delta Tech Ops. Passengers on Delta must be signed up for the airline’s SkyMiles rewards program in order to use the free WiFi. Since the announcement was made last month, more than 100,000 people have signed up for the program.
