Delta Air Lines will inaugurate a direct flight linking Athens International Airport with JFK Airport in New York City, beginning on Tuesday, April 5.
Delta is celebrating its 25-year presence in Greece this year, having transported some 1.5 million passengers between Athens and the United States since November 1991.
One flight per day is scheduled until June 17, followed by two flights per day during the peak summer season until the end of September 2016.
A permanent direct air link between the Greece and the United States has been a standing desire of tourism professionals in the east Mediterranean country as well as the significant Greek expatriate communities of North America.
