Delta Airlines to fly to Manila- The Fight for Los Angeles Continues; New Routes Leaked

Delta Airlines, an Atlanta-based carrier, announces new nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Manila. This is the second flight offered by U.S. carriers to Manila: United Airlines’ nonstop service from San Francisco. Daily services will be flown on an Airbus A350. This is another testament to my previous statements about Delta trying to win Los Angeles: American can’t win due to construction, and United couldn’t justify service from LAX because of its SFO hub.  Internal memos say that Delta will be flying from LAX to Washington DC(IAD), Singapore(SIN), and Seoul(ICN) next, and this competitive push is just the beginning of what’s getting announced this quarter.
