Heading to Tulum, Mexico just got easier thanks to a new direct flight launching in 2024.
On Friday, Delta Air Lines announced a nonstop service to the popular destination will launch on March 28, 2024 from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). The flight will operate from Tulum’s yet-to-be-opened Tulum International Airport, also known as Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport (TQO) which is scheduled to open in Dec. 2023.
Tickets will be available for purchase on Oct. 16, 2023.
«We know Tulum-bound customers will enjoy the elevated experience Delta consistently offers — and now without a two-hour drive from Cancun — as we grow our footprint in Mexico and throughout the Yucatan region,” Delta’s SVP of Network Planning Joe Esposito said in a statement.
Delta will use a Boeing 737-800 aircraft for the route, which can accommodate 160 passengers.
The announcement of the new route comes a day after the airline shared a „record September quarter revenue and a double-digit operating margin,“ Thursday on its most recent earnings call, despite its announcement of changes to its SkyMiles program.
Acknowledging in September that the changes may have went „too far,“ Ed Bastian echoed the same sentiment in a CNBC interview on Thursday.
»We're going to have to recalibrate," CEO Ed Bastian said. «We're going to have to find he best way to accommodate getting the service levels to where we need to be, at the same time making these modifications where people understand them better.»
The new Tulum route as well as the September quarter reported earnings come after the airline suspended its flights to Israel through October amid the ongoing conflict.
