Based at Atlanta Georgia, which vies with Chicago O’Hare as the world’s busiest airport, Delta Air Lines is expanding its South African services, adding a new, seasonal “triangular” route from the hub to Johannesburg and Cape Town – Atlanta starting 2 December.

The four-times-weekly operation will complement non-stop service from both Cape Town and Johannesburg to Atlanta and mean both cities will have daily operations to the US by the end of this year.

“As demand for travel increases, we’ll be offering our largest-ever schedule between South Africa and the US this summer”, said Jimmy Eichelgruen, Director Sales for Africa, Middle East & India, Delta Air Lines,

“Thanks to this added connectivity, customers will have access to more than 160 cities in North and South America, giving people even more opportunity to reconnect or expand business ties between our two countries, which US Government data estimated to be worth $17.8bn in 2019.”

All of Delta’s South Africa flights are operated using Airbus A350-900 aircraft with four product experiences Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
