Delta Air Lines will offer a new daily non-stop flight between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport, which begins service Dec. 21, subject to the United States Department of Transportation approval.
Delta’s alliance with GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes will extend the service to 23 destinations within Brazil and provide seamless connections at Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG) in Rio.
“We listen to our customers and continuously strive to offer them increasingly convenient ways to travel, both for business and leisure,” said Luciano Macagno, Brazil director, Delta Air Lines. “It is exciting to have the opportunity to offer a daily direct flight from Rio de Janeiro to our second-largest international hub at New York JFK. Delta’s continued route expansions demonstrate our commitment to the Brazilian market and the strength of our alliance with our Brazilian partner, GOL.”
The route will be operated using a 210-passenger Boeing 767-300 aircraft which has 35 Delta One full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access. The aircraft features oversized personal entertainment screens allowing passengers to experience the on-demand in-flight entertainment system. Travelers flying on Delta One will enjoy industry-leading food with Latin-inspired meal selections paired with elegant wines.
The aircraft includes 32 Delta Comfort+ seats and 143 seats in the main cabin. The carrier’s latest improvements include the introduction of new sleep kits and other upgraded passenger amenities. Customers flying in Delta Comfort +, Delta’s premium-economy service, benefit from up to 4 additional inches of legroom and 50 percent more recline; free beer, wine and snacks; and priority boarding. The expansion of Delta’s WiFi service is also in the works.
Elite customers flying in Delta One through JFK and GIG enjoy a premium airport experience at the 24,000-square-foot flagship Delta Sky Club in JFK’s Terminal 4, the largest Delta club, and recently opened GOL VIP lounge located in GIG’s Terminal 2.
The flights are not currently available for booking.
