Delta Air Lines just removed flights between New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Munich International Airport (MUC) from its schedule with the last scheduled flight on October 26th. The route only began this past April, but did not garner the demand that Delta had hoped to attract.
Delta Air Lines continues cutting routes to Germany.
The airline will end its New York (JFK) to Munich (MUC) route after October 26 and no longer plans to bring it back next summer. JFK-MUC began in April.
Delta will also end Atlanta-Stuttgart in October.

The route will not be brought back next summer as originally planned. It was flying 3x weekly using a Boeing 767-400ER with 34 Delta One®, 20 Premium Select, 28 Comfort+, and 156 Main Cabin seats. Munich International Airport (MUC) will continue to be served nonstop by Lufthansa. Additionally, Delta will fly there from both Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW).
This is the third route to Germany that Delta has recently cut, but at least it is not abandoning the city like it did with two others. Last month, I wrote about flights between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Stuttgart Airport (STR) being cut. Delta was the only carrier flying nonstop between the German city and the United States. Last September, I covered Düsseldorf International Airport (DUS) losing its last nonstop route to the US when Delta Air Lines announced plans to pull its flights from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) on October 27th. Both of those cuts were a little deeper as Delta was the only airline providing nonstop service. Germany is not a large country and its trains and domestic flights are easily accessible, but there is something to be said about not having to connect once arriving in Europe.
Anthony’s Take: If the loads were not there than it’s no shock that Delta is cutting this route. The aircraft will be better utilized elsewhere that has demand to support it. Auf wiedersehen.
