Delta to Launch Nonstop Service from LAX to Amsterdam and Paris

Delta Air Lines will launch nonstop service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Amsterdam and Paris beginning June 16, connecting Angelenos to Delta’s two largest partner hubs in Europe.

Delta will operate LA-Amsterdam service four days per week and LA-Paris service three days per week using Boeing 777-200 aircraft with 291 seats, giving customers daily service to one of Delta’s two European hubs. The Amsterdam flight will depart LAX on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, while the Paris flight will depart LAX on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Paris flights will also be timed to complement Air France’s existing service between LA and Paris. Altogether, Delta, Air France and KLM will offer LA customers three peak-day flights to Paris and two daily flights to Amsterdam.

“Congratulations to our partner Delta on the launch of their new international routes to Amsterdam and Paris," said Deborah Flint, LAWA chief executive officer. "It is because of new routes like this one that LAX’s increase in international flights is the largest in new markets served among all U.S. airports. Our mission at LAWA is to connect people, places, and cultures, and these new routes will provide yet another opportunity for travelers to connect with the world.”

“Delta’s history of bringing people together and driving positive economic impact across the Atlantic spans more than four decades and our summer 2018 schedule, including the addition of service from Los Angeles to Amsterdam and Paris, further cements Delta as the best choice for customers,” said Dwight James, Delta’s senior vice president – trans-Atlantic. “Delta was the first U.S. airline to fully equip lie-flat business class and premium main cabin seating on transoceanic aircraft and we will continue to enhance the customer experience next summer with locally-sourced chef-driven menus, complimentary in-flight entertainment and great Delta hospitality.”

“Los Angeles is Delta’s largest partner hub, meaning we connect more customers from Delta to our partner airlines in LA than anywhere else,” said Ranjan Goswami, Delta’s vice president – Los Angeles and sales, West. “Our new Amsterdam and Paris service means we will have large partner hubs on both sides of the pond, giving our Angeleno customers convenient, one-stop connecting service to more than 100 destinations in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa through our partners Air France, KLM and Alitalia, while customers traveling from Europe can connect to more than 15 destinations in the U.S.
