Delta announced they’ll be expanding service to Panama City, Panama (PTY) from three new cities. Los Angeles and Orlando will be launching service to Panama City on Dec 18, and New York-JFK on Dec. 20. Additionally, they’ll be a second daily flight from Atlanta on Saturdays.
Per Delta,
New flights and increased service grows Delta’s capacity to Panama by 80% since December 2019
In total, Delta will offer 13 weekly flights between four U.S. cities and Panama this winter, the most we’ve operated to the country since launching flights in 1998.
New L.A. and Orlando service – Delta’s only international flight at MCO – will both operate once-weekly on the 199-seat Boeing 757 aircraft and the 180-seat Boeing 737-900, respectively. New JFK service will operate on the 160-seat Boeing 737-800 three times per week, increasing to four times in March 2022.
It’s great to see Delta expanding service to Panama City, Panama and this announcement shows how the airline is adjusting their schedule to match demand of leisure travel.
The flights have been loaded and currently available for purchase or for award redemption using SkyMiles.

As an MCO hostage, I concur that this is welcome news. Before the pandemic, Delta offered Amsterdam and São Paolo international service on 767-400s with the international cabin.
I expect that the easing of border restrictions will return enough demand for the winter season to see these two non-stop routes restored soon.
Is this retaliatory or is there an actual market that hasn’t been captured by Copa?
