Delta Plans More Latin America Flights from LAX
 American City Business Journals
Delta Air Lines Inc. plans to add new nonstop routes from Los Angeles International Airport to nine Mexican destinations, two Central American destinations and corresponding connecting service to five destinations in the United States where many Hispanic customers prefer to travel.
Delta hopes to add the 16 new routes by winter. With the winter expansion, Delta will offer 63 daily flights to 33 destinations from Los Angeles by March 2007.
Complementing these new routes, Delta also will continue to expand services between Mexico and other U.S. hubs and gateways. The airline plans new nonstop service between Atlanta and Leon/Guanajuato, Mexico starting Dec. 1; it will add a second daily round-trip flight between New York-JFK and Mexico City starting Dec. 15; and add new nonstop flights connecting Salt Lake City and Orlando, Fla., with Mexico City as soon as December, both subject to foreign government approval. Delta has filed for DOT approvals to offer customers nonstop service between Salt Lake City and Guadalajara; and between Los Angeles and Los Mochis and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, all of which also are subject to foreign government approvals.
The new flights are expected to position Delta as the second-largest U.S. carrier in the Mexican market by March 2007 in terms of destinations served.
Delta's expansion into Mexico builds on more than 50 new routes added or announced to Latin American and the Caribbean in the last year as part of the largest international expansion in Delta's history.
From Los Angeles, Delta offers 42 daily flights to 17 nonstop destinations, including long-haul domestic flights to Atlanta, New York-JFK, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Hartford, Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati and Raleigh-Durham; international flights to Guadalajara, Cancun and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo; and Hawaii service to Honolulu and Maui.
