“The return of the Rio de Janeiro–New York route is crucial for Delta and our customers in both countries. We launched the flight during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer because many Brazilians travel to the U.S. for vacation, while Americans seek warmth in Rio during their winter,” said Delta’s Regional Sales Manager in Brazil, Ricardo de Oliveira.
In addition to the return of this seasonal route, the flight between Atlanta and Rio de Janeiro, which currently operates three times a week on a Boeing 767-300, will become daily from December 19 through March 28, 2025. During this period, Delta will deploy a larger aircraft to fly the route, the A330-300, which seats 282 passengers.
