Delta Airlines: TLV – ATLANTA route received best cargo rating

Delta's cargo operations between the United States and Israel has been rated first among the company's cargo services to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
 
In a statement issued by the company for the new year, the company said that it had been extremely successful in the Israeli market since the launch of the nonstop service from Atlanta, reaching two digits growth in 2007 compared to 2006.
 
The statement also noted that: “Tel Aviv is the sixth largest market across the Atlantic and it is a natural fit for our customers to have access to this growing and dynamic market from our two largest trans-Atlantic gateways. Over the past year, our Atlanta service has gone from strength to strength, with average load factors of around 80 percent and more than 150,000 passengers flying this route, reflecting strong customer demand”.
 
Effective March 2008, Delta Air Lines will offer customers a second daily nonstop flight between the United States and Israel with service between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Tel Aviv.
The new flight will position Delta as the only U.S. airline to offer customers nonstop service from two main U.S. gateways to Israel.
