Delta Air Lines is increasing its service between North Carolina and Chicago with the addition of three nonstop daily flights.
Starting on April 1, 2019, Delta will add flights between Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport with a convenient schedule designed for business and leisure travelers.
To serve the route, Delta will utilize the 70-seat Embraer E-175 regional planes. The aircraft will feature 12 first-class seats, 20 Delta Comfort+ seats and 38 main cabin seats, as well as power ports, access to Wi-Fi and streaming in-flight entertainment at every seat.
“Delta is already the number one airline in RDU, and we’re pleased to add a new nonstop link to our largest unserved destination from the Research Triangle area,” Delta senior vice president Joe Esposito said in a statement. “With the addition of our new service to Chicago-O’Hare, Delta will offer the RDU customer service to the majority of top destinations in the U.S.”
The Raleigh-Durham airport is one of Delta’s largest non-hub airports, with nearly 80 flights per day to 27 destinations worldwide. The carrier is the largest at the North Carolina airport.
