Delta launches 2 nonstop routes to Europe from MSP, setting new airport record
New routes to Europe are rolling off the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) runways this summer, setting a record for the number of international nonstop flights operating out of the airport. Last week, Delta Air Lines launched its first-ever nonstop route between MSP and Copenhagen, Denmark. The seasonal route will run three times each week on the airline's A330-300 planes. Delta also began seasonal flights to Rome that run four times each week on A330-300 aircraft. With the addition of flights to Copenhagen and Rome, Delta now offers seven nonstop routes to European destinations from MSP, with the others being London, Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin. Lufthansa subsidiary Discover Airlines also operates a nonstop flight to Frankfurt. Those new routes bring MSP to a total of 35 nonstop international flight options, a record number for the airport, according to the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates MSP. "With the start of our Copenhagen and Rome service, Delta is excited to offer our customers even more international destinations to explore," said Jeannine Ashworth, vice president of operations at MSP. "As MSP's largest global carrier, this new route pairs well with our other European cities, including Dublin and London, and our Delta team here in Minneapolis is ready to welcome our customers onboard, wherever their travels take them." As travelers head to the airport to take advantage of the new routes, the MAC is reminding travelers that the new REAL ID rules have gone into effect. Travelers are required to have REAL ID-compliant identification to pass through security for all travel, including domestic flights. Passports remain an option for travelers, but Minnesotans without a passport will need to have a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, without which they may face delays and extra screening.
