Delta Air Lines has submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation to expand its service between the United States and Brazil.
Delta has received approval to begin twice-weekly service between Detroit and Sao Paulo Oct 21. The request is to expand the service to five days per week.
Delta said its service would create a new gateway to Brazil in the Midwest, and continue Detroit's expansion as an international hub. In recent months, Delta has added service from Detroit to Seoul-Incheon and Hong Kong, and expanded service to Shanghai. In January, Delta will begin nonstop service from Detroit to Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
The flights will be operated with 216-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
