Delta Air Lines is bringing back its seasonal flights between New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão-Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport (GIG) from December 20th through March 2025. Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beaches and its urban setting surrounded by lush nature.
From December this year to March 2025, @Delta will once again connect two of the most vibrant cities desired by travelers around the world: Rio de Janeiro and New York City.https://t.co/h5N1jmJiAT

The daily flights will be operated with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft that offer 25 Delta One®, 18 Premium Select, 21 Comfort+, and 151 Main Cabin seats. This route is in addition to Delta’s daily flights offered from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). These are flown with Airbus A330-300 aircraft with 34 Delta One®, 27 Premium Select, 24 Comfort+, and 182 Main Cabin seats. American Airlines also flies this route nonstop.
Delta’s Regional Sales Manager in Brazil, Ricardo de Oliveira, said:
The return of the route between Rio de Janeiro (GIG) and New York (JFK) is very important for Delta and for our customers in both countries. As our network is planned considering where our passengers want to go, we implemented the flight during the summer in the Southern Hemisphere because we know that, at this time of year, many Brazilians want to enjoy the vacation season in the United States, just as many Americans seek refuge from the harsh winter in their country by enjoying the warmth of the ‘Marvelous City’.”
Anthony’s Take: I have never been to Brazil. I’ve been to Argentina, Peru, and other South American countries, but never Brazil. This will need to change in the future.

I’m surprised that this service is only seasonal. Pan Am ran a specially configured 747 with gobs of business and first class seats every day. While Pan Am went bankrupt (not as a result of service to South America) that still tells me that there’s lots of demand for premium cabin tickets to Rio.
