Wow: Delta Air Lines & Virgin Atlantic Have Record US-London Heathrow Flights This Summer

Delta has served London Heathrow Airport since 2008. This coincided with the signing of the EU-US open skies agreement, which replaced the highly restrictive Bermuda II agreement. This meant the carrier could finally fly to the UK's busiest airport. Sixteen years later, Delta – and transatlantic joint venture partner Virgin Atlantic, of which it owns 49% – have a record number of US flights this summer.
