Delta Air Lines today announced its latest expansion in New York City, with 12 new daily flights to 11 domestic and Caribbean destinations in spring and summer 2012.

In March, Delta will add new frequencies between New York-JFK and Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

"Our expanded service to these key Caribbean and domestic destinations reinforces our ongoing commitment to our customers in New York," said Gail Grimmett, Delta's senior vice president – New York. "With our planned expansion at LaGuardia Airport, and our terminal renovation and expansion at JFK, Delta is continuing to position itself as the preferred carrier for customers traveling to and from New York."
