Delta restarts service to New York from Venice

Delta is bringing the U.S. and Italy closer than ever, restarting its nonstop flights between New York-JFK and Venice Marco Polo Airport. The flights will operate daily using a Boeing 767-300 aircraft with 216 seats.

Additionally, for the first time, the airline will offer two flights from Venice to Atlanta – resuming its nonstop service later this month and adding a second service throughout the summer. In total, Delta will operate 17 weekly flights between Venice and the U.S. during peak season with connections to more than 200 cities across North America and beyond.

“This summer Delta is offering customers increased choice of flying between Venice and the U.S. with our New York service and enhanced Atlanta services, the world’s leading hub,” said Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India. “As one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice is hugely popular with U.S. travelers and our flights bring valuable tourism and trade opportunities to the City and the Region as well as unrivalled opportunities for Venetians looking to explore destinations across the Americas.” 

Camillo Bozzolo, Aviation Development Director of the SAVE Group commented: “The resumption of Delta Air Lines connections to the hubs of New York and Atlanta confirms the constant growth of flows between Venice and North America, which with over one million passengers in the last year have largely exceeded the volumes of 2019.” He added, “The increase to 10 weekly frequencies on the Venice-Atlanta route will further expand the offer of destinations in connection with North, Central and South America”.

Customers will have a choice of four product experiences including Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Delta One customers can stretch out in a lie-flat seat and enjoy premium amenities like plush bedding made from recycled plastic bottles, more beverage options, and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. Customers flying in Delta Premium Select will have more space to relax and stretch out, with a wider seat, deeper recline, an adjustable footrest and leg rest. All customers can enjoy a wide selection of in-flight entertainment options and stay connected with Wi-Fi and enjoy free mobile messaging.

As part of Delta’s $12 billion airport terminal investments, frequent flyers will enjoy new premium lounges at New York-JFK and other U.S. destinations including Boston and Los Angeles to boost the customer experience. Connecting customers will also benefit from the upgrades at Delta’s JFK Terminal 4, enabling easier transfer to over 60 onward connections.

Delta’s summer 2024 schedule between New York, JFK and Venice will operate in cooperation with its European partners Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic and is as follows:
