Great! Too bad the MAC is going to let Delta take over the main terminal and move all others to the Humphrey.

Does that mean Delta will send its 25 year old 767's back to Atlanta? Air France will mean an improvement in service and a much newer plane.

Anybody want to bet that Delta's nonstop service to Paris will disappear shortly after this "joint venture" begins? A US company finds yet another way to ship jobs overseas. By the way Strib, your picture is of an A330, not an A340.

Why is this news? Air France already flies this non-stop route as a code share with Delta.

Does this mean it is a second daily non-stop flight to Paris, or is this replacing the current daily Delta non-stop?

Hookshot my thoughts too. Right now dl220 is at least a daily in delta metal. What's next klm doing the AMS flying again.

heureux de vous voir Air France! Bienvenue aux villes jumelles!

Why all the debbie downers here? Twice daily to Paris, once to London, and three times to Amsterdam means the most service to Europe from Delta/Northwest ever, and people are still unhappy? Sheesh.

I know it's sometimes hard to tell jetliners apart, but A340s have 4 engines, which should have made it very apparent that the 2 engine plane in the photograph was the wrong one. Journalistic accuracy needs to extend to photographs as well, Strib.
