Delta's Broad Network Changes During Its First Summer Married to Northwest

I believe this to be a comprehensive list of Delta's new routes and capacity/aircraft changes for this summer. Some major network notes include:

• This is Delta's first summer in the LAX intercontinental market in over 7 years featuring 3 different international aircraft types and 3 different BusinessElite products flying out of LAX. 1 777LR with lie-flat BusinessElite suites to Sydney, 1 763ER with a standard BusinessElite cabin to Sao Paulo, and 1 B744 from Northwest operating WorldBusinessClass to Tokyo-Narita.
• The 777 returns to Europe with introduction on New York-Madrid (July 2), and returns on New York -Tokyo starting June 4th. New York-Barcelona will also get a B764 upgrade, as does New York-Tel Aviv on a 777 until July 1st.
• A 767-400ER Version D will be operating all London-Heathrow routes to Detroit, Atlanta, and New York (JFK 2x daily), as well as New York-Moscow and New York-Sao Paulo. This version has a new kind of BusinessElite suite called "Thompson Vantage Suites" that are perfectly suited to give Business passengers immediate aisle access on B767 aircraft. Minneapolis-London/LHR will continue to be operated with standard WorldBusinessClass A332.
• Delta will be moving NWA's 744 on signature Delta routes like Atlanta-Tokyo (May 1) and Atlanta-Honolulu (April 2), as well as NWA's A333 on Atlanta-Amsterdam and New York-Rome. In turn, Delta's B763 will be operating on NWA's routes from Portland to Amsterdam and Tokyo, as well as Minneapolis to Paris-CDG. Delta's B757 (EX-TWA) will be operating Seattle-Kahului/Maui.
• This summer will see major beyond Tokyo capacity reductions with placement of more 757's on intra-Asia routes like Tokyo-Bangkok, Tokyo-Seoul, Tokyo-Ho Chi Minh City, and Tokyo-Taipei. However, Tokyo does get its first ever service to Salt Lake City on Delta (A332) as well as resumption of service to New York (B777).
• Delta is scheduled to operate 7 routes to Paris in cooperation with its Air France joint-venture, most notably to Pittsburgh (757), Raleigh/Durham (Jun 2010/757), Philadelphia (Oct 05/757), Salt Lake City (763), and Minneapolis (763). This compliments existing service to Atlanta and Cincinnati (both 763).
• Atlanta-Johannesburg will join Delta's Atlanta-Mumbai as one of the world's longest nonstop routes by mileage, both over 8400 miles, respectively. It will be flown with Delta's flagship 777LR (long range).
• In Africa, new Atlanta-Cape Town and Atlanta-Nairobi service with a stop in Dakar, Senegal. Also, Dakar (DKR) becomes a logistical connecting point for Delta service to the African cities of Malabo, Luanda, Abuja, and Monrovia. The plane that connects in Dakar to these cities will originate in New York and maintain connection possibilities both ways to the Atlanta flight. Not to be left out, Delta will be resuming the planned New York to Lagos, Nigeria service and upgrading New York-Accra, Ghana to a 764.
• The Northeast Brazil operations will hopefully be finalized this summer. As per what we see now, Brasilia, Fortaleza, and Manaus will be seeing either 3x-4x weekly to Atlanta on B757 aircraft.
