Delta Air Lines Launches These 5 New Nonstop Routes In October

October is nearly here. Delta Air Lines will be the United States' (and the world's) second-largest operator in that autumn month by flights, although it'll rank third for seats for sale and available seat miles. Cirium Diio data shows that Delta will have a total of 5,096 daily movements (takeoffs and landings combined) next month.

Delta Begins Or Resumes These Routes In October

The carrier's schedule submission for January 2025 to September 2026 was compared to what's available in October 2026. This process identified that the following five routes will all take off, nearly all in the first week of the new month: Salt Lake City to Moab (October 1); Austin to San Jose (October 6); New York LaGuardia to Bermuda (October 6); Salt Lake City to Santa Rosa (October 6); and Atlanta to Riyadh (October 23).

Delta From Austin To San José, California

Delta's growth at its AUS focus city continues to be significant. In October 2026, the carrier plans an average of 121 daily movements. That's a record for the month, and it's 9% more than the previous high, which was set last October. Compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, movements have more than doubled (+147%). AUS is now Delta's 11th most-served airport, up from 37th seven years ago.

Delta Will Now Serve 14 Airports In California

In October, Delta will have scheduled flights to 51 US states and US territories in the Caribbean. California ranks fifth for flights, with 584 daily California movements existing next month, up by 1.5% year-over-year to the highest level yet for October. Due to the launch of SLC-STS, Delta will now fly to 14 airports in the Golden State.
