Delta Air Lines will fly its largest selection of flights from Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP) to the Caribbean and in Latin America this winter, with new routes to Aruba and St. Maarten, as well as expanded service to popular destinations including Grand Cayman and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This winter, Delta will begin offering new flights from MSP to Oranjestad, Aruba (AUA) on Fridays and Saturdays. The new flights from MSP to Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) in St. Maarten will be on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Flights will be operated on the Boeing 757-200 offering First Class, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin options.
Additionally, Delta is adding one weekly flight to Grand Cayman and two more weekly flights to San Juan from MSP. It also recently announced its first-ever flights to Mazatlán, Mexico, which will also begin this winter.
“The continued surge in international travel has been a key trend for MSP in recent years, and we are excited to see Delta add this new service,” said Brian Ryks, CEO of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates MSP Airport. “With the addition of these new flights, Upper Midwest travelers now have their largest-ever range of options to Latin America and the Caribbean. It’s a great time to start planning that winter escape.”
Delta has seen a remarkable interest in international flights this summer. In its second-quarter predictions, it expects to see record profits, due in large part to the popularity of international travel. The airline will fly its largest transatlantic schedule this year.
It also recently announced its largest winter ski schedule yet, flying to popular destinations including Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Bozeman and Vail from its hubs.
