Delta is expanding its reach from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with two new nonstop routes: daily service to Hong Kong (HKG) and three daily flights to Chicago O'Hare (ORD).
The new route, which will begin on June 6, 2026, offers direct access to the global city and more than 30 convenient one-stop connections to and from LAX.
This addition strengthens Delta Cargo's transpacific network, creating a vital new freight corridor between two of the world's most robust cargo markets.
The service, operated by a widebody Airbus A350 aircraft, can carry over 20 tons of cargo per flight, enhancing Delta's ability to support global supply chains and deliver seamless logistics solutions between Asia and North America.
The addition of Hong Kong also strengthens the Delta-Korean Air Joint Venture, further expanding the partnership's reach and enhancing travel options for customers across the Pacific.
To the east, Delta's new service between LAX and Chicago O'Hare connects two of the nation's most influential cities, each a hub for commerce, culture, and travel.
With schedules tailored for both business and leisure, the route offers quick access to Chicago's manufacturing, insurance, financial sectors, and culinary scene. For Midwestern travellers, it provides a convenient gateway to LA's tech and entertainment industries.
Delta customers departing from LAX can enjoy a smooth and comfortable journey, starting with an upgraded airport journey designed to make every step more relaxing and efficient.
Delta One customers flying to Hong Kong will have exclusive access to the new Delta One Lounge at LAX, offering nearly 200 seats, a rotating chef-curated menu, year-round sushi bar, wellness room with full-body massage chairs, and a design aesthetic inspired by Southern California's natural beauty.
“Launching service to Hong Kong and Chicago from LAX strengthens our presence in two of the world’s most dynamic markets,” said Paul Baldoni, SVP of Network Planning. “As the largest global carrier at LAX, we’re continuing to invest in routes that matter to our customers and deliver the premium travel experience that they’ve come to expect from Delta.”
“As one of the world’s busiest airports, LAX is proud to welcome Delta’s new nonstop service to two critical global hubs, Hong Kong and Chicago," said Doug Webster, Chief Operations and Maintenance Officer, Los Angeles World Airports. “These routes not only enhance our trans-Pacific and domestic reach but also reflect the strength of our partnership with Delta in delivering world-class service to travellers across the Pacific and to key destinations throughout the US.” -TradeArabia News Service
