Virgin and Delta to offer New York and Boston connections from Gatwick

Virgin Atlantic and Delta have announced plans to grow at London Gatwick – with the introduction of two new routes to Boston Logan and New York JFK from summer 2020.

With the introduction of two new east coast services, the leading transatlantic partnership will offer up to 18 daily flights between the UK and Boston and JFK.

Full schedule and fare information for the new routes will be announced later this year.

The flights will complement Virgin Atlantic’s existing network from London Gatwick to Florida and the Caribbean, where they currently operate up to 33 flights per week to eight destinations.

The new flights will see Delta return to London Gatwick for the first time in eight years.

The airport was the destination for Delta’s first transatlantic flight more than 40 years ago, when services began from Atlanta.
