Flights to Boston and Orlando will operate using Boeing 737-800 and 757-200 aircraft, respectively. Bozeman, Pasco and Victoria service will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest using two-class, 65-seat CRJ-700 jets.
The new service is part of Delta’s previously announced plans for 2 percent system capacity growth for 2015.
Boston and Orlando service will connect Seattle with the third and fifth largest markets on the East Coast. Boston service will also provide customers one-stop access through Seattle to the top five destinations in Asia.
“Through our growth, our team of nearly 3,000 Seattle-area employees is working diligently to support the needs of our Seattle customers and the hundreds of thousands of other customers we connect through Sea-Tac each year,” said Mike Medeiros, Delta’s vice president of Seattle. “These new flights are important additions and are consistent with Delta’s industry-leading commitment to capacity discipline. We look forward to showing our customers what Delta’s brand of thoughtful, reliable and innovative is all about as Seattle continues to take its place as a global commerce center.”
As a global airline, Delta offers Seattle customers access to a worldwide network of destinations throughout Asia, Europe, Canada and the U.S. By August, the airline will operate 128 flights to 36 destinations from its West Coast hub.
Earlier this month, Delta celebrated the start of service from Seattle to Boise; Sacramento; Sitka, Alaska; and Ketchikan, Alaska along with the expansion of service to Fairbanks and Juneau, Alaska. Service to Denver begins June 4, and service to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii begins in December.

Every Delta flight from Seattle features jet service with Delta One/First Class and Delta Comfort+ seating and free entertainment options via Delta Studio as well as Wi-Fi service on every domestic aircraft operating in the contiguous U.S. Delta is the only carrier to offer full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access in Delta One on every long-haul international flight from Seattle along with entertainment on demand in every seat throughout the aircraft. Locally, Delta recently opened a 7,000-square-foot corporate office just outside Seattle in downtown Bellevue. The airline has also invested $15 million in its facilities at Sea-Tac, including its Delta Sky Club and lobby renovations, Sky Priority services, new gate area power recharging stations, expanded ticket counters and enhancements to the international arrivals area.
