Delta to launch direct flights to Saudi Arabia
Delta Air Lines will launch direct flights to Saudi Arabia in October, the first by a US carrier in 25 years, ahead of the Future Investment Initiative. Ticket sales have been slower due to the Iran conflict, but Delta remains optimistic, while other airlines like Virgin Atlantic and Air Canada have canceled similar routes.
