Delta to consolidate London Heathrow operations
Delta Air Lines will consolidate its London Heathrow operations in Terminal 3 as of Sept 14, the airline announced Aug 22. The move will allow Delta and its UK-based joint-venture equity partner Virgin Atlantic to operate from the same terminal. Delta plans to move its Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Philadelphia flights out of Heathrow’s Terminal 4 and transfer them to Terminal 3, joining Delta’s flights to New York-JFK, Boston and Seattle. “Having our Heathrow service under one roof [with Virgin Atlantic] is crucial to delivering a synched-up, more convenient service,” Delta SVP–Europe, Middle East and Africa Nat Pieper said. Virgin Atlantic EVP–Commercial Erik Varwijk said: “Once the switch goes ahead … customers [will have a] more seamless experience flying from or through London.” <br/>
