Delta Air Lines, American air carrier, is going to resume its direct flights from Prague to New York, JFK Airport, effective 8 May 2023.
The operation of these flights will be extended until 28 October.
Throughout the summer flight schedule, the airline plans to operate the route up to seven times a week using Boeing 767-300 aircraft.
“The resumption of direct flights to New York is excellent news primarily for Czech passengers. They will be able to enjoy a convenient and fast connection to the east coast of the United States,” said Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Prague Airport Board of Directors.
“We are pleased to return to the Czech market with direct flights, able to offer passengers a comfortable and fast connection from Prague to New York and to further-away destinations on the American continent,” Guido Hackel, Air France, KLM and Delta Air Lines Country Manager for Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, noted.
Delta operates more flights to Europe out of JFK than any other US carrier, with its flight to Prague operating in conjunction with its joint venture partners Air France, KLM, and Virgin Atlantic.
