Delta Air Lines is introducing its first-ever nonstop flights between Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), adding the Philippines to Delta’s global network.
Beginning in March 2027, Delta will become the only U.S. carrier to offer nonstop service between Manila and Los Angeles, further expanding its trans-Pacific network.
The service will operate three times weekly beginning March 28, 2027, departing LAX then March 30 departing NAIA, before increasing to daily flights on June 7, the carrier said in an e-mailed statement.
“We look forward to welcoming customers in the Philippines onboard for Delta’s nonstop service to the U.S.,” said Jeff Moomaw, Delta’s vice president – Asia Pacific.
“As we continue growing across the Asia Pacific region, Manila represents an exciting opportunity to introduce more travelers to Delta’s premium experience while expanding access to our global network.
Delta will utilize its Airbus A350-900, which features four distinct seat products: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.
The new Manila service also strengthens Delta’s 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.
As Los Angeles prepares to welcome the world for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Delta continues investing in its growing LAX network, premium facilities and customer experience.
At LAX, Delta One customers can enjoy access to exclusive Delta One check-in and security and Delta’s two Delta One Lounges, including the newly opened Terminal 2 location, which offers a more intimate experience featuring elevated dining, thoughtfully designed spaces and personalized service before departure.
