Delta Air Lines Launches Summer Athens-New York Service

Flights meet demand during peak holiday season

Delta Air Lines is resuming its summer seasonal flights between Athens and New York-JFK.

The flights will operate daily from 18 May 2014, throughout the summer season, using an Airbus A330-300 aircraft with 292 seats in conjunction with Delta’s joint venture partner Air France KLM and Alitalia.

Flight DL0263 will depart Athens at 11:35am and arrive in New York at 3:15pm. The return flight US262 departs from New York at 4:20pm and arrives in Athens at 9:15am the following day. All times are local.

Delta’s flight from Athens features 33 fully flat-bed seats in BusinessElite. Each forward-facing seat converts to a 180-degree full flat-bed and offers direct aisle access in a 1x2x1 configuration. Other product initiatives being rolled out across Delta’s international fleet include the expansion of Wi-Fi service by the end of 2015.

Meanwhile, customers flying into New York-JFK will benefit from Delta’s new JFK Terminal 4, part of a $1.4 billion project to create a state-of-the-art international gateway.
