Delta’s new New York to Porto flight starts May 21

Delta’s new nonstop service from JFK to Porto is set to begin on May 21 as part of seven new European routes launching next summer, giving customers even more opportunities to experience Europe and enjoy the airline’s award-winning service and premium onboard experience.

Delta will launch its first-ever daily nonstop service to Porto, Portugal (OPO) from New York-JFK beginning May 21, 2026, giving customers direct access to one of Europe’s most colorful coastal cities. The new route is part of Delta’s broader trans-Atlantic expansion and reflects the airline’s commitment to offering more destinations, more flights and more elevated experiences than ever before.

“Delta’s new nonstop service from JFK to Porto is part of seven new European routes launching next summer, giving customers even more opportunities to experience Europe and enjoy our award-winning service and premium onboard experience,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning at Delta. “Whether discovering Portugal or traveling to our other new destinations such as Sardinia and Malta, these additions expand choice for our customers and reinforce JFK’s role as a leading global gateway.”

With the addition of Porto, Delta builds on its existing service to Portugal. The airline already connects the U.S. to Lisbon with daily year-round service from New York-JFK and seasonal daily service from Boston, giving customers even more choice when traveling to the Iberian Peninsula.

Travelers to Porto will depart from Delta’s hub at New York’s JFK Airport, where the airline operates over 200 peak-day departures to more than 100 destinations.
