Delta Air Lines continues its expansion from Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP) to the Asia-Pacific region. The latest route is coming in 2020 and will connect MSP to Shanghai (PVG). It will be the Minnesota airport’s first-ever non-stop flight to China.

The airline’s proposal for the route says it will use its new Airbus A350-900. The frequency hasn’t been announced yet.

“In addition to our Twin Cities customers, this new route will benefit travellers across the US with more competition and options for service to Shanghai thanks to our connecting hub at Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport,” said Ed Bastian, CEO, Delta.

The new service joins new non-stop flights between MSP and Seoul (INC) that start next April. Delta has an existing route from the Minnesota hub to Tokyo Haneda (HND), currently its only service to Asia from MSP.

“Shanghai is the largest Asian market without direct service from Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport,” said Brian Ryks, executive director and CEO, Metropolitan Airports Commission. “Direct service to China would be a tremendous benefit to the Minnesota business and hospitality communities.”
