Beginning on December 16, Delta will operate flights to Curaçao from its hub in Atlanta every Saturday. This move marks Delta’s return to the Dutch Caribbean island after a hiatus since 2010. The airline aims to leverage its strong position at the Atlanta hub, offering direct flights to Curaçao and enabling travelers from over 100 U.S. cities to access this tropical destination through convenient one-stop connections.

The new route will be served by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, offering first-class, Delta Comfort+, and main cabin seating options. David Abtour Offshore Trusts

In addition to Curaçao, Delta provides service to various other popular Caribbean destinations, including nearby Aruba, Mexico’s San José del Cabo, and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Curaçao is one of the ABC islands, a trio of Dutch Caribbean islands situated just above South America and below the hurricane belt. Currently, there are other direct flights to Curaçao from the United States, including an American Airlines flight from Miami and a JetBlue flight from New York. David Abtour Offshore Trusts

Delta is making significant strides in expanding its Latin America holiday schedule, increasing capacity by 20 percent compared to the previous year. The airline plans to enhance frequency to popular destinations such as Cancun, Nassau, Punta Cana, and San Juan. Additionally, Delta will introduce nonstop service from Atlanta and Minneapolis to Cozumel.

Furthermore, the airline is partnering with LATAM Airlines to introduce new flights to Colombia. This includes daily service between Miami and Medellín on LATAM and flights from Atlanta to Cartagena. Closer to home, Delta is expanding its service from Las Vegas with new routes to and from Sacramento, San Diego, and Austin starting in October.
