Delta Airlines will add a third nonstop flight to Atlanta in August, El Paso International Airport officials announced Thursday.
Delta in August will have two morning flights, which will help El Pasoans catch international flights from Atlanta, said Jeff Schultes, the El Paso airport’s deputy director of aviation.
“We’ve been talking to all the airlines and convincing them we are short of seats. This is hopefully the first step to adding more seats to help our travelers,” Schultes said.
Delta currently has a 6 a.m. and 1:14 p.m. flights from El Paso to Atlanta. In August, it will have El Paso to Atlanta flights at 6:20 a.m., 11:35 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. It also will have three flights from Atlanta to El Paso at 9:45 a.m., 1:50 p.m. and 7:41 p.m.
“This gives us more seats and more opportunities for business people to get where they want to go at the right time,” Schultes said.
