With this route, Delta flies to eight cities in the United States non-stop from Heathrow.

“As the only airline to fly non-stop between Britain and Portland, we are offering more choice for customers during the peak travel season this summer between the UK and US,” said Dwight James, Delta senior vice president, transatlantic.

“We have been growing our network in the UK for the past three years, alongside our partner, Virgin Atlantic and this summer have up to 39 flights a day to the United States enabling people to reach every corner of the country with ease.”
