Delta Air Lines has flown more than 190 million passengers round-trip between the United States and Europe. From 1990 to 2023. This is based on a review of his T-100 data from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Over 33 years, there have been more than 140 routes. Some are inherited from Pan Am, some are inherited from the Northwest. Others existed when the now-closed hubs were operating, when the situation between the two countries was different, or through partnerships with other carriers.

These euro airports are currently out of service

Using Cirium to compare Delta’s European network in 2024 with the one in operation since 1990, T-100 data shows that 21 European airports have been removed from Delta’s network. I understand. Note: This does not include the intra-European service inherited from Delta’s Pan Am in the 1990s. (Yes, it is.)

The airports below are organized by year of service, and Delta Air Lines metal is no longer visible. As you can understand, due to codeshares, partnerships, and other relationships, many airports (or at least cities) are still part of the airline’s overall network, they just don’t serve their own aircraft.

Delta Air Lines Plans Largest European Summer Route Network Ever

These include 11 lines that started or restarted last year or will start or restart soon.

69 routes have been abolished since 1990

The following US-Europe routes were operated by Delta Air Lines at some point after 1990. Routes that ended before that time are not taken into account. I have listed the US airports they serve. The year reflects the last year of service.

Some routes surprised me, and others I had forgotten about. Frankfurt’s former importance in his post-Pam Am 1990s is as clear as Delta’s now-defunct Cincinnati hub and former Northwest hub in Memphis. To qualify, Delta must fly each route. Data comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

To make the extensive list a little more readable, we do not mention locations that have been changed to another airport in the same city, or where a partner airline is operating the route instead.
