Delta pitches Atlanta to Havana daily flight

ATLANTA (WDEF) – Delta Airlines has filed an application for flights to Cuba out of Atlanta.

The airline is pitching flights from Atlanta, New York, Miami and Orlando.

But there will be competition.

The U.S. is expected to approve 20 daily flights to Havana and 10 more flights to other Cuban cities by the end of the year.

United is applying for New York, Houston, Washington and Chicago connections.

While American is including Charlotte in their bid.

But Delta’s Atlanta flight is the closest to us here in Chattanooga.
