Delta Airlines will offer flights from Glasgow to JFK
US airline Delta has announced plans to double its Scottish network next summer by offering regular flights between Glasgow and New York’s JFK airport.
The move comes two weeks after Delta started a service between Edinburgh and JFK.
The Glasgow service, which will begin on May 26, 2017, will be the only non-stop fight between Glasgow and New York-JFK and will operate daily throughout the summer.
From JFK, customers will have a choice of 60 same-day onward connections throughout the United States, including Los Angeles, Orlando and San Francisco.
The flight is operated in conjunction with partners Virgin Atlantic Airways and this new service adds to Virgin’s seasonal service from Glasgow to Orlando.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
