Delta Air Lines has released its summer 2025 schedule, and it is a robust one from its home airport in Atlanta, to say the least.

We’re talking almost 1,000 daily flights just from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport alone and more than one million seats weekly.

That’s an increase of 75 daily departures compared to last summer.

“Home to the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, Atlanta’s position as a global leader for cultural and business connectivity is only enhanced by Delta’s expansion of their domestic and international network,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “As our hometown airline and the state’s largest private employer, Delta plays an integral role in our economy through workforce opportunities, community investments and meaningful partnerships.”

Delta’s international footprint from Atlanta also continues to grow, now spanning 66 international destinations around the world, including recently announced new service to Naples and Brussels and increased flying to Rome, Zurich, Barcelona, Athens, Cancun and Toronto, as well as Barbados and Curacao.

There is also a nine percent increase year-over-year in premium seating.

Over the past decade, Delta has invested more than $12 billion in modernizing and upgrading its network of hubs into state-of-the-art facilities. In Atlanta, Delta has contributed significantly to the airport’s $10.8 billion redevelopment program.

Talk about taking care of your hometown.

There are 56 markets featuring eight or more daily flights from ATL.

“Delta delivers positive impacts statewide – tourism to Georgia creates jobs and opportunities from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Golden Isles, including generating a record $5 billion in state and local tax revenues in 2023,” said Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson. “The connectivity provided by Delta also supports increased business-related travel, which grew year-over-year by nearly 10 million travelers and more than $1 billion in spending in 2023.”

Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady recently sat down with Delta to talk about the airline's culture.
