Delta to Launch Nonstop Year-Round Service from Indianapolis to Paris Beginning in May

Delta Air Lines will bring nonstop trans-Atlantic service from Indianapolis to its European hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle beginning May 24.

"Indiana and the Indianapolis metropolitan area has long been an important part of our route network and we are honored that Delta will be the first U.S. carrier to take Indiana nonstop to Europe," said Bob Cortelyou, Delta's senior vice president – network planning.

Delta is Indianapolis' leading global airline with service to 13 destinations and 37 peak-day departures and the only airline to offer a premium lounge, the Delta Sky Club. With the new service to Paris, customers from across the Hoosier State will have convenient, one-stop connections at Paris-Charles de Gaulle to more than one hundred destinations in Europe, Africa, Middle East and India.

"This new service is a great example of the strength of our trans-Atlantic joint venture and we look forward to providing a new economic link between the state of Indiana and Europe," said Dwight James, Delta's senior vice president – Trans-Atlantic.

"Indiana's pro-business reputation continues to grow and spread around the globe, and that's why securing a direct trans-Atlantic flight is so important," Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said. "This flight is a big win for our state's business community and for Hoosier travelers. I cannot wait to see that first Delta flight take off for Europe in just a few short months."
