Delta Air Lines To Offer Bizjet Upgrades to Elite Fliers

Delta Air Lines to Offer Bizjet Upgrades to Elite Fliers.

Depending on aircraft availability, under this program elite Delta SkyMiles members could be offered a flight on a chartered business jet operated by subsidiary Delta Private Jets. These upgrades will cost $300 to $800, depending on the destination, and are per leg, not for the passenger’s entire trip.

Delta Private Jets received U.S. Department of Transportation approval to fly mainline passengers on 160 routes in the U.S. four days a week (Tuesday through Friday). Initial flights will be concentrated among Delta Air Lines’ hubs at Atlanta, New York La Guardia, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airports.

German carrier Lufthansa already offers scheduled passengers the chance to book chartered flights through its Lufthansa Private Jets partnership with NetJets Europe. Qatar Airways also has its own private aviation service through its Qatar Executive division, and Air France offers private jet connections for first-class passengers through a partnership with Wijet.
