Delta Planning a Non-Stop Flight to South America?
Published Wednesday, April 14th 2010
Delta has requested authorization from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to introduce two weekly flights between Detroit and Sao Paulo beginning Nov. 4. Delta already holds certain rights to operate Sao Paulo service, but requires DOT permission to fly from Detroit.
Delta would operate the flights on Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with 35 seats in BusinessElite and 181 seats in Economy Class. Both governments (United States and Brazil) have agreed to this expansion of U.S. carrier and Delta has separately applied for new rights to increase Detroit-Sao Paulo to daily service as soon as permitted by Brazil.
