Delta Beefing Up Destinations From Boston

Delta Air Lines is adding to its services at Boston’s Logan airport next year with additional routes to major business destinations.

Delta will add four new routes: to Cleveland Hopkins on April 1, 2019, and Chicago O'Hare, Newark Liberty and Washington National airports from September 9.

The airline’s president Glen Hauenstein said the new routes plus existing services to San Francisco and Los Angeles, mean that “Delta will offer service to the five top business markets requested by our corporate customers.”

The Cleveland service will be three times daily, O’Hare five times a day, Newark will have four daily flights, and Washington National six flights each day.

Delta previously operated a shuttle service between Boston and Washington but stopped it in 2001, replacing it with a lower frequency Delta Connection offering. It abandoned the route completely in 2012.

The additional flights plus already announced service increases will take the airline and its partners’ total at Boston to up to 152 daily departures, an increase of 30 from 2018.

To accommodate the airline’s expansion at Logan, Delta will use all the gates at the airport’s Terminal A from the third quarter next year.
