Delta Adds New Routes to Orlando, Austin, New York

Delta Air Lines has announced a major domestic expansion, adding new nonstop and daily routes to Orlando, Austin, and New York beginning in December 2025. The airline is launching several new seasonal Saturday nonstop options from Midwestern cities to Orlando, with some routes bypassing its traditional hubs. In addition to these leisure-focused point-to-point flights, Delta is introducing new daily service from major hubs including New York JFK, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Salt Lake City. This move is part of a broader strategy to attract travelers dissatisfied with Southwest Airlines after recent policy changes. Delta aims to strengthen its market position and appeal to both leisure and business travelers amid a competitive market and slowing domestic demand. The expansion highlights the airline's investment in capturing greater market share in 2025.
