Delta Air Lines is preparing to meet strong travel demand during the busy winter and holiday period by enhancing the travel experience for customers with the deployment of its next-generation Airbus A350-900 and A330-900neo on the Lagos to Atlanta route.
The seasonal upgrade is designed to meet strong travel demand during the busy winter and holiday periods, while offering customers greater comfort, an improved onboard experience across all cabins of service and increased cargo capacity.
By the end of November, customers will see the route operated using a mix of A350-900 and A330-900neo aircraft.
Beginning in December, all flights between Lagos and Atlanta are scheduled to operate exclusively with the A350-900, Delta's flagship long-haul international aircraft.

Operation of these aircraft types will continue throughout the winter season, particularly to meet the increase in holiday passenger numbers and increased demand for cargo.
Both the A350-900 and A330-900neo represent the latest generation of Delta's widebody aircraft, featuring the airline's premium interiors and signature four-cabin experiences, Delta One® Suite, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.
Each cabin is designed to provide a superior onboard experience with enhanced privacy, space and personalized service.
“Deploying our A350 and A330-900neo on the Lagos-Atlanta route for the winter season will help Delta meet growing customer demand while providing a premium experience our passengers will love,” said Mary Gbobanyi, Manager, Sales, West Africa.
“The additional seat capacity and cargo capacity is needed during this period when families reunite and trade activity between Nigeria and the United States picks up.”
The Airbus A350-900 is one of Delta's next generation aircraft for long-haul operations and one of the most technologically advanced aircraft in the sky.
It offers spacious seating, ambient lighting and a quiet cabin designed to reduce fatigue and increase comfort on long-haul journeys, combined with improved fuel efficiency and expanded cargo capacity, supporting both passenger and freight needs during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
