Delta Air Lines announced today that it plans to operate 968 daily flights to 215 destinations from its mega-hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) in summer 2025. This is nearly 75 additional daily departures over summer 2024 and cements Atlanta as the world’s largest airport hub.
Next summer, Delta will offer an incredible 1.1 million weekly seats from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). This includes 66 international routes (the newest among them were previewed here). Delta highlighted its commitment to offering leisure travelers to Europe more choice with increased frequencies and new destinations. From Atlanta those include:
- Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) increases from 7x to 11x weekly
- Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN) increases from 7x to 10x weekly
- Brussels, Belgium (BRU) (3x weekly; starts in May 2025)
- Naples-Capodichino International Airport (NAP) (3x weekly; starts in May 2025)
- Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) increases from 14x to 17x weekly
- Zurich Airport (ZRH) increases to daily flights
On the Domestic front, Delta is also increasing its flight offerings. The expanded flying includes the largest-ever schedule within its home state of Georgia with 20% more intrastate seats to Albany’s Southwest Georgia Regional Airport (ABY), Augusta Regional Airport (AGS), Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK), Columbus Airport (CSG), Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), and Valdosta Regional Airport (VLD).
Delta has also invested heavily in the facilities at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). The airline has made a significant contribution to the airport’s $10.8 billion redevelopment program. This includes expanding Concourse D, and opening a new Delta Sky Club® there before summer 2025 (it will be double the size of the existing one). Delta is also working on the introduction of a touchless experience at bag drop and security using Digital ID.
Joe Miller, Vice President of Airport Operations at ATL, said:
Our growth and strength in Atlanta come from the dedication of Delta people who live our Brand Beliefs—Welcoming, Elevated, and Caring—every day. Our team’s pride, unity, and relentless drive to improve are what truly make the Delta difference.”
Anthony’s Take: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is not for the faint of heart. It’s huge and always busy. While I find the layout to be simple, its sheer size can be daunting. Delta continues to invest there and offers a great network of lounges as well as an army of employees to help travelers on their way.
