Delta Air Lines has announced the suspension of its service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and London Heathrow (LHR), effective May 6th, citing strategic reallocation of resources. The decision impacts the 10-hour flight route, which has been serviced by the Airbus A330-900neo.

Passengers aiming to fly with Delta between LAX and LHR will now be required to book connecting flights through one of the airline’s other hubs, including Boston (BOS), Seattle (SEA), Detroit (DTW), Salt Lake City (SLC), Minneapolis (MSP), or New York (JFK).

In response to inquiries, Delta clarified that while its direct LAX-LHR service will cease, the route will still be available through its joint venture partner, Virgin Atlantic, which operates twice daily service using the A350-1000. Delta further revealed plans to reallocate its A330neos to its hub in Atlanta (ATL), initiating an additional ATL-LHR flight.

The joint venture with Virgin Atlantic, established in 2012 with Delta holding 49 percent ownership of Virgin, has facilitated increased connectivity between the United States and the United Kingdom. Notably, both carriers have announced a surge in US-London Heathrow flights for the upcoming summer season.

Data from Cirium indicates that Delta’s ATL-LHR service will experience a significant uptick in flights in May 2024 compared to the previous year, following the discontinuation of the LAX-LHR route. In 2023, Delta operated ATL-LHR four times daily using the Boeing 767-400ER exclusively. With the addition of flights and the introduction of new aircraft such as the A330-300 and A330-900neo, May 2024 will witness an increased capacity of 14,851 seats compared to the preceding year, according to a report by Simple Flying.

While the stretched version of the 767 will remain a fixture on the route, Delta’s strategic adjustments reflect an evolving demand landscape and a commitment to optimizing its operations.

Despite the cessation of the LAX-LHR route, Delta will continue to serve over 150 daily flights to 59 destinations from LAX, including prominent cities like Auckland (AKL), Paris (CDG), and Tokyo (HND). Additionally, the airline has expressed interest in resuming routes to Cuba and China, exemplifying its adaptability and commitment to global connectivity.

Looking forward, Delta will commence operating its A350 three times weekly to Brisbane (BNE) starting in December 2024, introducing competition to American Airlines’ service from Dallas (DFW) to BNE, scheduled to begin in October.

The withdrawal from the LAX-LHR route underscores Delta’s agile response to market dynamics, ensuring the optimization of resources while maintaining a robust network of domestic and international connections.
