Boston route takes off Delta launches new route and extends New York JFK service to year-round. The inaugural flight between Edinburgh and Boston with Delta Air Lines has taken off as the airline confirms its New York JFK service is to become year-round. The daily flight to Boston Logan International Airport will operate throughout the summer and is the airline’s second route from Edinburgh. It complements the existing New York JFK service and means Delta Air Lines with joint venture partner Virgin Atlantic will offers two nonstop connections between the capital and United States every day this summer. The New York JFK route will extend beyond the summer and into the winter for the first time, creating a year-round service. The airport and airline celebrated the new route this morning at a ribbon-cutting ceremony prior to departure, while a bagpiper offered a traditional welcome to guests on the inbound flight from Boston. Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said: “North American visitors are one of our biggest international markets and expanding routes to this part of the world offers even more opportunity for people to come to Scotland and experience our fantastic country for themselves. It also opens our horizons and connects Scotland to the world so we can visit both for leisure and do business in a new market. “We’re excited to add Boston to our destination list and look forward to working with Delta to deliver a successful route that provides more choice for passengers and demonstrates the airport’s international outlook.” Roberto Ioriatti, Delta’s vice president Transatlantic said: “Delta’s new flight is the only nonstop link between Edinburgh and Boston. Having seen steady growth of customers on our New York service over the past three years, we are confident that Boston will be another popular destination providing more choice to our customers in Scotland and the United States.
