Delta Air Lines introduces gateway to Colombia

Delta Air Lines has announced a new nonstop daily service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Bogota, Colombia, starting August 19.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) officially approved Delta’s new service to Colombia this week following preliminary approval in March. The new Delta flight to Bogota complements the airline’s existing daily service to Colombia from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

To celebrate the start of the new JFK-Bogota service, Delta offers a special one-way introductory fare of $249* for travel between August 19 and November 20, 2008. Round-trip ticket purchase required. Tickets must be purchased by June 11, 2008. Additional taxes/fees/restrictions apply.

“Our growth in the Americas and the Caribbean has been consistent, and now Colombian travelers are only a flight away from the excitement of New York City, where they can also connect to Europe, Asia, Africa or the Middle East via JFK,” said Christophe Didier, Delta’s vice president of Sales and Government Affairs for Latin America and the Caribbean.

As part of its rapid expansion throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, Delta this year also will start nonstop service from New York-JFK to Georgetown, Guyana, on June 1 and to Antigua and Barbuda on June 12. In addition, Delta will soon begin nonstop service from JFK to Amman, Jordan; Cairo, Egypt; Malaga, Spain; and Cape Town, South Africa, among others.
