Every summer, we see the global US carriers announce new routes to Europe, given the amount of seasonal leisure demand that exists. Along those lines, Delta has just announced two new transatlantic flights for 2026, from one of its growing long haul hubs.
“As a cornerstone of Delta’s global network, Boston plays a vital role in connecting our customers to the world. By adding nonstop service to Madrid and Nice, we’re enhancing our European network and continuing our commitment to providing an exceptional travel experience from start to finish.”
These new routes will complement Delta’s existing European routes out of Seattle, including to Amsterdam (AMS), London (LHR), and Paris (CDG), all of which are year-round.
With these latest route additions, Delta will serve a total of a dozen European destinations out of Boston next summer. These include Amsterdam (AMS), Athens (ATH), Barcelona (BCN), Dublin (DUB), Edinburgh (EDI), Lisbon (LIS), London (LHR), Madrid (MAD), Milan (MXP), Nice (NCE), Paris (CDG), and Rome (FCO). That’s quite an impressive network… and that small Delta One Lounge Boston is about to be very crowded!
These are among Delta’s first new European route announcements for 2026. So far, the airline has only otherwise revealed plans to fly from Seattle (SEA) to Barcelona and Rome, and that was clearly a competitive response to Alaska, given the carrier’s growth there.
On top of that, Delta is letting SkyMiles members vote on the carrier’s new European destination, with the choices being Ibiza, Malta, or Sardinia. Something tells me the airline might just announce all three of them, but I guess we’ll see…
Bottom line
Delta has announced two new seasonal European routes from Boston, as the airline will fly to both Madrid and Nice using Airbus A330-900neos. This complements 10 existing destinations, meaning that Delta will serve a total of a dozen European destinations from Boston next summer.
