Delta Air Lines’ first-ever nonstop flights between Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will begin operations on March 27, 2027 a day earlier than initially announced.
Service will operate daily beginning March 27 from LAX and March 29 from NAIA, the U.S. carrier said in a statement.
Customers will travel aboard Delta’s Airbus A350-900, featuring four distinct seat products: 40 Delta One suites, 40 Delta Premium Select seats, 36 Delta Comfort seats and 159 Delta Main seats. On the Wi-Fi equipped aircraft, SkyMiles members traveling to and from Manila can access Delta’s fast, free onboard Wi-Fi.
The carrier earlier said the new Manila service strengthens its joint venture with Korean Air by expanding customer choice between North America and the Philippines. Customers already enjoy convenient access to the Philippines through Korean Air’s multiple daily flights between Seoul Incheon (ICN) and Manila. Delta’s new nonstop Los Angeles-Manila service complements that existing network, giving customers the flexibility to fly nonstop with Delta or connect through Seoul with Korean Air.
Through their joint venture, Delta and Korean Air connect travelers to more than 260 destinations throughout the Americas and more than 60 destinations across Asia, making it easier than ever to explore destinations across the Pacific.
As LAX’s leading global carrier and premier West Coast gateway, Delta operates more than 160 peak-day departures to over 50 destinations, powered by a growing domestic and international network built for both leisure and business travelers.
In the past year alone, Delta has expanded its LAX network with new services to Hong Kong, Melbourne and Chicago, returned to Shanghai, announced upcoming service to Vancouver, Newark and now Manila, and introduced its largest-ever schedule to Florida.
Delta also recently launched the next era of Delta One, bringing a fully reimagined culinary, beverage and hospitality program on board transoceanic Delta One routes departing LAX.
