Delta
is adding more Europe to its Boston schedule with two new nonstop routes
launching next spring: Madrid (MAD) on May 16 and Nice (NCE) on May 17. From
historic capitals to Mediterranean shores, these additions bring Europe’s most
sought-after destinations within easier reach.
“As
Boston’s leading carrier, Delta plays a key role in linking the city to the
world,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning. “With
nonstop flights to Madrid and Nice, we’re expanding our European network and
reinforcing our commitment to delivering a premium travel experience.”
Madrid,
Nice and beyond
The
new flights highlight two very different but equally iconic destinations:
Madrid with its grand boulevards and lively culture, and Nice with the relaxed
charm of the French Riviera. Delta will operate daily flights to Madrid and
three flights a week to Nice (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays), along with
seamless onward connections across Europe.
With
these additions, Delta’s Boston network will grow to 12 European destinations.
Enhanced schedules to Barcelona (daily from May 7) and Milan (four times weekly
from May 16) will also offer earlier seasonal starts and more flexibility.
Boston
as a global gateway
Delta
has nearly tripled its service from Boston over the past 20 years, expanding
from 25 to about 70 destinations. Together with its partners, the airline now
connects Boston to four continents with roughly 20 daily international
departures.
Travelers
departing Logan Airport benefit from upgraded ground services: the new Delta
One Lounge (6,700 square feet of fine dining, tailored service, and nautical
design touches) and the expanded Delta Sky Club (21,000 square feet with work
booths, shower suites, and varied dining options), ranked among USA Today’s top
10 U.S. airport lounges.
On
board: enhanced comfort
Flights
to Madrid and Nice will be operated with the Airbus A330-900neo. Passengers can
choose among four cabin experiences, including Delta One® with lie-flat
seating, chef-designed menus, and Missoni amenity kits. Across all cabins,
guests enjoy curated meals, Delta Studio entertainment, and free Wi-Fi for
SkyMiles members courtesy of T-Mobile.
“We
welcome Delta’s commitment to Boston Logan and are excited about new service to
Spain and France, with Nice becoming our 60th international destination,” said
Massport CEO Rich Davey. “Starting next spring, travelers will have even more
choice for business and leisure trips to Europe.”
Investing
in Boston
With
more than 2,000 employees in Massachusetts, Delta is a long-standing part of
the local community. Through the Delta Air Lines Foundation, the carrier
supports education, sustainability, and community development in partnership
with more than a dozen organizations.
