Delta plans to add Boston-Rome route in 2020

Delta Airlines plans to launch a new route to Rome from Boston in time for the 2020 summer travel season, further expanding its international network from the US Northeastern region. The airline, which established a new hub at Boston Logan earlier this year, also said Monday that it assumes operations at all gates at Logan airport's Terminal A this month, growing Delta's airport footprint ahead of launching service to additional domestic markets. Delta is the terminal’s sole operator for the first time since the facility opened in 2005. Boston is Delta’s second transatlantic gateway, and the new route will help the airline boost transatlantic capacity by more than 30% in 2020. Delta plans to launch 4 new transatlantic flights from Boston, including the new seasonal service to Rome. <br/>
