Next summer, Delta will operate the largest and most premium experience in its history at LAX. Together with its partners, Delta will offer more than 200 daily departures at the summer peak. That scale, combined with Delta’s premium offering, transformed airport experience and deep roots in the Los Angeles community, further strengthens its position as Los Angeles’ #1 airline*.
‘Los Angeles shapes, transforms, and influences the world, and LAX is proud to be the gateway connecting travellers to our city.’ said Courtney Moore, Chief Revenue and Experience Officer at Los Angeles World Airports. ‘Our airline partners’ investment in connectivity helps strengthen Los Angeles’ position as a leading global destination. As we continue transforming LAX, growing our network alongside the airport experience is an important part of creating the world-class gateway Los Angeles deserves.’
For travellers, Delta’s investment in Los Angeles is part of a broader expansion of connectivity across the United States.
Delta operates nonstop services between Lagos and Atlanta, providing Nigerian travellers with access to the airline’s extensive U.S. network through its Atlanta hub. The expanded Los Angeles operation adds another important dimension to Delta’s wider transcontinental network, particularly for travellers whose final destinations are in the western United States or who are connecting onward to destinations across the Pacific.
Los Angeles also provides access to Delta’s international network, with the airline serving 25 international destinations from LAX, including cities across the South Pacific and Asia.
This means Nigerian customers travelling to destinations such as California, the U.S. West Coast or onward destinations in the Pacific can have additional routing options when planning their international journeys.
The expansion is also accompanied by investment in the premium travel experience.
Delta has continued to develop its facilities at LAX through its $2.3 billion Sky Way project, which connects Terminals 2 and 3 and provides customers with an enhanced airport experience.
Delta One customers have access to dedicated check-in facilities, private TSA security screening and Delta One Lounges. The airline also plans to further expand its lounge presence at LAX, with an additional Delta Sky Club scheduled to open in 2027.
Onboard, Delta continues to invest in its premium cabins and customer experience. Delta One customers will benefit from an expanded wine programme featuring selections from leading California and international wineries, while eligible customers across the network can also access fast, free Wi-Fi and Delta Sync entertainment.
For Nigerian travellers flying long-haul to the United States, these investments reflect the increasing emphasis on the overall journey, from airport facilities and connectivity to onboard comfort and entertainment.
The Los Angeles expansion forms part of Delta’s continued investment in its U.S. network as demand for domestic and international travel evolves.
With more than 200 daily departures planned from LAX at the peak of the summer 2027 schedule, Delta is positioning the airport as an increasingly important gateway for customers travelling between the United States and destinations across the globe.
For Nigerian travellers, the expanded network offers more possibilities for reaching different parts of the United States and connecting onward to international destinations, while Delta’s Lagos-Atlanta service continues to provide a direct link between Nigeria and the airline’s wider U.S. network.
