Delta to add flights between OIA and Atlanta

Delta Air Lines will begin offering daily round-trip flights between Ontario International Airport and Atlanta beginning next year.

Delta is the third carrier to announce transcontinental flights out of Ontario International in recent months, according a statement.

“We are thrilled to add Delta’s nonstop service to its Atlanta hub, a key development in Ontario’s evolution as a gateway airport,” said Alan D. Wapner, president of the Ontario International Airport Authority, in the statement.

“The world’s busiest airport, Atlanta offers Southern Californians a world of opportunities for air travel through Delta’s extensive global network.”

Ticket sales began Saturday. The flights, which will be conducted by Boeing 737-900 aircraft, are scheduled to begin April 22.
