Delta announced Friday it will begin additional service to Paris next summer with flights departing from hubs and key business markets.

The combined new and existing services means Delta will offer year-round and seasonal flights to Paris from 11 destinations in the U.S., including six hubs.

Specifically, new and expanded service to Paris–Charles de Gaulle will include new nonstop service from Newark’s Liberty International Airport, new summer seasonal service from Boston’s Logan International Airport, an additional flight from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and expanded service between Detroit’s Metro Airport. Flights between Detroit and Paris will expand from seasonal 767-300 service to year-round A330-300 service.

Additionally, Delta has committed to resuming seasonal service between Pittsburgh and Paris while expanding the frequency to five times per week.

Delta is also adding an additional seasonal flight between New York-JFK and Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

Glen Hauenstein, e.v.p.–Network Planning, Revenue Management and Marketing, noted that the new service will improve Delta’s position in Paris while supporting the joint venture with Air France-KLM.
