Delta Air Lines has celebrated new nonstop service from Seattle to Shanghai with an inaugural service ceremony. The flight is the latest addition to Delta's growing Asian gateway in Seattle.   The service, between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Shanghai Pu Dong International Airport complements current nonstop service from Seattle to Beijing, Osaka, Tokyo-Narita and most recently, Tokyo-Haneda. Shanghai service is Delta's second route between Seattle and China, following Beijing service which began in 2010. In addition to its Asian routes, Delta operates nonstop service from Seattle to Paris and Amsterdam. This summer the airline will operate more than 45 daily flights to 18 destinations worldwide from Seattle. Delta's recent partnership with Virgin Atlantic also provides the opportunity to offer new service between Seattle and London-Heathrow, pending government approval. Air Transport News
