HONG KONG, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines today marked its return to Hong Kong, inaugurating daily nonstop service to Los Angeles and reconnecting one of Asia's most important markets with Delta's premier U.S. West Coast gateway.

Delta's flight DL89 took off from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 11:05 p.m. on June 6 and arrived at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) at 5:05 a.m. this morning, welcomed by a water cannon. 

DL88 took off from Hong Kong for Los Angeles at 9:25 a.m. after a ribbon cutting ceremony at the departure gate, attended by representatives from Delta, U.S. Consulate General, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and LA Tourism Board. Every departing customer received a special gift.  

"This service marks another step in Delta's long-term growth across Asia-Pacific, as we expand our network to further serve the evolving needs of our customers," said Jeff Moomaw, Delta's vice president – Asia Pacific. "We're thankful for our partners in Hong Kong and for our customers who choose Delta, and we're proud to offer an elevated, premium experience throughout their journey."

Delta's new nonstop service from Hong Kong to Los Angeles provides more than 30 convenient one-stop connections from LAX.

Flights from Hong Kong to Los Angeles will be operated daily on Delta's Airbus A350-900, featuring four product experiences: Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.

Delta One Suites offer lie-flat seating with a sliding door, premium bedding and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. Delta Premium Select provides wider seats with deeper recline and enhanced amenities for a more spacious and relaxing journey.

Customers flying Delta One receive exclusive access to the new Delta One Lounge at LAX, offering nearly 200 seats, a rotating chef-curated menu, a year-round Sushi bar, a wellness room with full-body massage chairs, and a design aesthetic inspired by the natural and architectural beauty of Southern California. These travelers also benefit from private security via the Delta One check-in and dedicated, concierge-style service from curb to gate.

The new route also strengthens Delta Cargo's transpacific network, creating a vital new air-freight corridor between Hong Kong, the world largest air cargo hub, and the U.S.

This route builds on Delta's momentum in Los Angeles, where the airline operates as the largest global carrier* with more than 150 peak-day departures to over 50 destinations across the globe.

Additionally, Delta's $2.3 billion transformation at LAX features the Delta Sky Way and the modern Terminal 3, a 1.2-million-square-foot, 27-gate complex. Highlights include a centralized check-in lobby, an expanded security checkpoint and an award-winning Delta Sky Club.

As an inaugural Founding Partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Official Airline of Team USA, Delta is honored to connect Hong Kong to Los Angeles, accelerating cross-border travel on the road to 2028.
