Delta Air Lines announced it is adding over 100 daily flights and 8,000 more seats per day out of New York this fall and restoring 13 routes that were suspended during the pandemic.

On Tuesday, Delta announced a significant increase in available daily seats and flights this fall as it continues its post-pandemic recovery. The added flights and frequencies will be a 25% increase compared to summer 2021, with over 400 daily flights, and make it the biggest carrier operating out of New York's JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, according to the carrier. Delta said business and leisure travel demand is up, and the carrier is responding with more options and capacity.

"We're adding 25% more capacity this fall to meet the significant demand for business and international travel going into next year," said Delta's senior vice president of network planning Joe Esposito. "We continue to provide more choice and convenience while rebuilding our global connectivity and delivering what Delta does best - putting our customers first with exceptional, reliable service and a premium travel experience."

Part of the added capacity includes restoring all 40 of the carrier's most popular domestic markets from New York by next month, according to Delta. The airline is also launching a new nonstop route between LaGuardia and Worcester, Massachusetts on November 1.

In addition to domestic routes, Delta is also reinstating four high-demand international routes from New York-JFK to Europe, Africa, South America, and Mexico, as well as adding frequencies to Paris, London, and Dublin in Europe, St. Thomas and St. Martin in the Caribbean, and Tel Aviv, Israel.
