Summary
Delta Air Lines is launching new routes from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and adding seasonal routes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) in Florida. The EWR-LAX route comes after JetBlue Airways announced it will end its twice-daily flights on the route. Delta will operate the new route with an Airbus A321neo.
Our Reading
The destination is rediscovered.
Delta is filling the gap left by JetBlue’s exit from the EWR-LAX market. The airline is also adding new seasonal routes to its network. The EWR-LAX route will be flown with a standard Airbus A321neo, not the airline’s new 44-seat first class seat version. The new routes bolster Delta’s relevancy at its airports, connecting existing dots on its map with new lines. The escape is carefully planned, with Delta’s commitment to the West Coast metropolis reflected in its new route.
