New service from ATL to Luanda, Angola using the A330-200. Nice high-time trip, at least (I'm guessing it'll be a 4 pilot crew).

Let me know how the layover is...

Did they ever come up with a final answer on the A330 crew rest facility? I didn't think they could do 4 man stuff yet.

I think the 2-person crew rest facility has been put off until 2012, so it would be a 3 man crew. Hm - great circle is 6,997 miles, so that would be a bit long for under 12 hours. Maybe there's a tech stop in Dakar, as they fly right past it.

Yep: Flights will operate three times per week with 243-seat Airbus A330-200 aircraft flying between Delta's hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Luanda with an intermediate stop in Dakar, Senegal.

Means some fun Dakar layovers for A330 crews.

Yeah, the flight stops in DKR, so probably a 7 to 9 day trip with 3 pilots, kind of like we did going to CPT or JNB.
