The new Dublin route brings Delta to 65 year-round and 14 seasonal services from Detroit, include three year-round and four seasonal trans-Atlantic. the service was threatened by the 32m passenger cap at Dublin airport.
The route has been long in the gestation, having first been proposed by the old Northwest Airlines in 2004. Northwest was subsumed into Delta in 2010, making the Atlanta-based airline the largest in the world at the time.
