Delta Airlines has come up with very good news for the commuters between Boston and Sao Paulo. The airline is all set to introduce flights between Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Sao Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU) that would get underway from January 6, 2025.
The airline will operate thrice a week and will use Airbus A330-300 aircraft for the flight. The Boston departure, flight DL165, would take off by 9:00 AM and would land at Sao Paulo around 8:45 local time. The return flight DL164 from Sau Paulo, on the other hand, would depart by 10:45 PM and would land in Boston by 6:40 AM the next day. The flights would be available on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays of every week.
The schedule is similar to LATAM Airlines’ present BOS-GRU service timing which hassled the industry to presume that Delta is seizing control of LATAM’s route operations. It would be interesting to note that LATAM has stopped selling tickets for this route during Delta’s operational period from January 6 to March 27, 2025. Delta’s future course of action beyond March 2025 is not known.
The Boston-Sao Paulo service matches Delta’s current Brazilian network which offers flights to Sao Paulo from its prominent hubs in Atlanta (ATL) and New York (JFK).
The Atlanta-based carrier is also all set to introduce non-stop flights between Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP) and Copenhagen (CPH), Denmark from May 2025.
Moreover, Delta is all set to restart non-stop flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and Shanghai (PVG), China in June 2025. Following this, the airline will come up with new and restarted services to Auckland (AKL), Paris (CDG), and Brisbane (BNE)from Los Angeles from4thDecember 2024.
It would be worth stating that the group partnership of Delta Air Lines and LATAM Airlines has attained a 68% growth in flight operations ever since they established their Joint Venture in 2022.
The collaboration, it must be stated, has created 32,000 flights and has offered 8 million seats that connect North America (United States and Canada) with South America (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay).
Delta Air Lines had come up with three strategic routes under the association: Atlanta-Cartagena service, a seasonal New York JFK-Rio de Janeiro connection, and augmented Atlanta-Bogotá service to twice every day.
LATAM Airlines augmented its system with Bogotá-Orlando, São Paulo-Los Angeles, and seasonal Santiago-Orlando routes. It also added a second daily Lima-Atlanta flight.
The joint operation emboldened its market occupancy by including Ecuador in its South American network for North American travel. The undertaking augmented its possibility by assimilating devoted cargo flights into its operations, signaling an important progress in its service portfolio.
The Delta-LATAM association expands comprehensive loyalty advantages across its systems. Travelers gain miles concurrently in Delta SkyMiles and LATAM Pass programs. The coalition permits entry into 53 Delta Sky Clubs across the United States and to five LATAM lounges in Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Bogotá, and Miami.
