“The return of our summer seasonal flight between Stockholm and New York provides our customers with nonstop convenience as well as the opportunity to connect to over 60 U.S. destinations such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orlando from New York, JFK,” said Perry Cantarutti, Delta’s senior vice president of Europe, Middle East and Africa. “The route is popular with both business and leisure travellers and we are already seeing very positive booking figures.”
