Delta Air Lines will resume 7 seasonal routes from 3 hubs in summer 2025

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is already planning for busy travel amid the warmest months of the new year. The legacy carrier will enhance its summer route network by bringing back seven seasonal routes from its hubs in Atlanta, Detroit, and Minneapolis–St. Paul.

While most of the leisure routes travel to other destinations in the US, one will connect the East Coast to Latin America.

Delta has scheduled four aircraft types on the routes, offering several thousand seats during the summer season.

5 states, 1 country

The SkyTeam Alliance carrier shared its plan on Monday that six of the seven returning routes will commence on June 8, 2025.

From Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), the airline will utilize its Boeing 737-800 to Bangor, Maine, while the Airbus A319 will handle flights to Rapid City, South Dakota.

The aircraft type will also be deployed from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) to Bozeman, Montana, while the 717-200 is scheduled to operate flights to the Florida destinations of Pensacola and Destin-Fort Walton.

The A319 will be the choice of equipment between Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

All six routes will be offered through September 7th, but the seventh route will start and end a bit earlier.

Beginning May 10th, Delta will operate the larger 737-900ER to accommodate Latin American demand to and from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The route is scheduled through August 2nd.

“From white sandy beaches and crystal-clear Caribbean waters to the National Parks and scenic landscapes, Delta is offering more options to connect customers to the perfect summer getaway,” the airline stated.
