Delta Air Lines is adding two new summertime destinations to its repertoire for 2026. One is a popular coastal spot for vacationers. Another is known for its mountains, food and craft beer.<\/p>\n

Starting on June 13, the Atlanta-based carrier will begin new nonstop service from its Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) hub to Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n

That same day, Delta will add Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) in North Carolina to its fast-growing route map out of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) in Texas.<\/p>\n

Delta will operate both of these new routes once per week on Saturdays, clearly anticipating that the majority of passengers will be embarking on weeklong summer getaways.<\/p>\n

These routes were first spotted by industry watcher Ishrion Aviation.<\/p>\n

Boston to Halifax<\/h2>\n

In adding Halifax to its route map for summer 2026, Delta will add to what’s proved to be a buzzy destination this year. Halifax recently made TPG’s list of the 17 best places to travel in 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This summer, YHZ is set to see total departures to the U.S. jump 30% over last summer, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium. That includes the recently announced United Airlines service<\/a> to Nova Scotia from Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington.<\/p>\n

Delta will have competition on its BOS-YHZ route, which is already served out of the New England hub by Air Canada and American Airlines.<\/p>\n

This will be the second hub Delta flies to Halifax from; the carrier already operates summer service to YHZ from New York’s LaGuardia Airport (LGA).<\/p>\n

Austin to Asheville<\/h2>\n

As for its new AUS-AVL service, Delta will fly weekly through Sept. 5 \u2014 the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

The Asheville area is home to the famous Biltmore Estate, myriad hiking opportunities and a ton of local breweries.<\/p>\n

This new Delta route will bolster its de facto Austin focus city<\/a>, where the carrier has targeted a ton of growth<\/a> over the last two years.<\/p>\n

We should note, Delta won’t be the first airline to fly between Austin and Asheville. Budget airline Allegiant Air also operates flights between the Texas capital and the North Carolina mountains.<\/p>\n

Good to know<\/h2>\n

Delta plans to deploy its Delta Connection-branded Embraer 175 regional jets on these new routes, which sport 12 first-class recliners up front, along with 20 extra-legroom Delta Comfort seats and 38 standard coach seats.<\/p>\n
