By summer 2009, Delta will be the only carrier to operate service between North, East, South and West Africa and the United States and will operate from 12 cities in 10 African countries

Concerning SYD. I hope that supervisor in ATL didn't confuse
SID, with SYD. :)
 
Great news!

Now, if we can only keep that flying in Unionized US Crew's hands.

If that Sup. got Sydney mix up with Cape Verde...they need a new job.

Thanks for keeping us updated on the new routes...there are a slew of non stop Pacific routes coming (if we ever get the Delayliner).

Impressive reach around the globe. Africa is such a treat to see!
 
I agree. Very good info! JFK-GOT suprises me a little, but at least someone in route planning is thinking out side the box.

These are much better than the PIT/RDU-CDG route announcements, IMO...

Abuja, Nigeria via Cape Verde;
Luanda, Angola via Cape Verde;
Maloba, Equatorial Guinea via Cape Verde;
Cape Town, South Africa via Dakar.
Monrovia, Liberia via Cape Verde

complimenting an additional ATL-NRT with the 747-400? I am pleased to see Sweden, hope for more/additional Scandanvia as well, the new Africa routes are exciting. I think the NRT-SLC is a very wise move and will work nicely for that hub, I wonder if any plans to fly nonstop to Vietnam from the US? Connecting the NRT hub with JFK(and their new and existing routes) would be a perfect way to link Asia and Europe via JFK, I hope that is announced and service resumed soon as well!
