Delta said in a statement the new routes will create “a crucial gateway to the U.S. for customers, providing them with seamless onward connections to as many as 100 U.S. cities through Delta's largest hub in Atlanta.”
In addition, Delta will add an extra seasonally-operated flight from Seattle to Cancun on Fridays with a return trip on Saturdays starting Dec. 22.
The new flights come on the heels of Delta’s plans to add more flights to Colombia starting this fall in partnership with LATAM Airlines. It also comes months after the airline announced plans to increase its flight capacity to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean in time for the holiday season this year as well as add a new flight between New York’s LaGuardia Airport and Nassau, Bahamas.
And in December, the airline will resume flying to the Caribbean island of Curaçao for the first time in more than a decade.
