Delta köper Singapore Airlines andel i Virgin Atlantic

[Dr. Miles]

Amerikansk transportministeriet har godkänt ATI (antitrust immunity) av Delta & Virgin Atlantics joint venture för trafiken mellan USA och Storbritannien.

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has given the green light to Delta Air Lines’ commercial venture with Virgin Atlantic.

After today’s antitrust immunity was granted, the two airlines can commence sharing revenue and flights between the UK and USA.

This includes a new schedule of flights between Heathrow and New York from 30 March 2014 such as seven direct services a day on the route. Three of these will depart Heathrow in the morning, followed by three afternoon departures between 14.00 and 17.35, then another will take off in the evening.
