Delta to (Once Again) Restart Former Pan Am Non-Stop Service from New York to Berlin

Departures board at the nww-closed Berlin Tegel Airport
Delta Air Lines announced plans to once again restart daily service from New York to Berlin.
The non-stop service will commence on May 25, 2023.
Delta acquired the Berlin route along with many other European destinations when it acquired and began to operate Pan Am’s transatlantic routes on November 1, 1991, giving the Atlanta-based airline a major presence on flights across the Atlantic. While Pan Am was the first to offer scheduled service across the Atlantic in 1939, the historic airline had acquired the Berlin route and others in 1950 when it purchased American Overseas Airlines, the transatlantic division of American Airlines, from that carrier.
Delta had operated the route in 2019.  It previously restarted New York-Berlin service in 2016 as a seasonal summer route, albeit to the old Tegel Airport, and previously had operated it for several years through 2011.
Delta Flight 92 is scheduled to depart New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at 8:40 p.m. EST. It will arrive at Berlin’s new Berlin-Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt at 10:50 a.m. local time. The return flight, Flight 93, will depart Berlin at 12:50 p.m. local time and arrive at JFK at 3:30 p.m. EST.
The Atlanta-based carrier will operate the flights using Boeing 767-300 aircraft that include a Delta One business-class cabin with lie-flat seats that extend to a bed that is between 77” and 81”, as well as a Comfort+ premium-economy light section with added legroom and a coach section in the rear of the aircraft.
