ATLANTA- Delta Air Lines (DL) is enhancing its international service by launching a new seasonal route from Los Angeles (LAX) to Brisbane (BNE), Australia.
The airline plans to operate three weekly flights that will provide direct service from Los Angeles (LAX) to the Australian city. This newly established route underscores the significant advancements in transportation infrastructure occurring in Queensland.
Delta Air Lines Los Angeles to Brisbane Flight
The inaugural flight of Delta Air Lines (DL) featured a unique LA28 Olympics livery, which serves to connect two cities that will host the Olympics.
The aircraft’s design is intentionally crafted to represent Los Angeles, the site of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, along with Brisbane, the future host of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This branding underscores the international sports relationship between the two locations.
Delta Air Lines’ first flight DL93 touched down in Brisbane at 7:18 am, with a live global stream celebrating a major expansion in international routes. The festivities included a watch party in Los Angeles to honor the new connection.
The airline utilizes the Airbus A350-900 for the route, capable of accommodating 306 passengers with state-of-the-art travel features. Delta boasts a wide-reaching global presence, conducting over 4,000 flights daily to almost 280 destinations across six continents.
The Brisbane-Los Angeles route enables passengers to enjoy extensive connectivity via Delta’s upgraded hub in Los Angeles.
Travelers will have improved terminal amenities, featuring streamlined check-in procedures and state-of-the-art facilities.
Delta offers four unique cabin classes, including the sole premium economy option now available on the route between Brisbane and Los Angeles. This variety caters to a wide range of traveler needs and price points.
The Attracting Aviation Investment Fund of Queensland actively supports these new international flights.
This initiative seeks to enhance tourist spending in the state, acknowledging aviation’s crucial role in the economy.
The United States ranks as Brisbane’s fifth-largest source of international visitors, indicating significant tourist and economic potential for this new flight path. Delta’s growth aligns directly with the tourism and connectivity aspirations of Queensland.
Jeff Moomaw, Delta Air Lines’ Vice-President for Asia Pacific, conveyed his excitement regarding the new Brisbane service. He pointed out the airline’s significant commitment to upgrading the LAX terminal, aiming to provide an effective and welcoming gateway for travelers between Australia and the U.S.
Andrew Liveris, President of the Brisbane 2032 Organizing Committee, highlighted the important link between Brisbane and Los Angeles. He acknowledged the rare opportunity for both cities to host consecutive Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028 and 2032.
Liveris emphasized that the increased global attention in the lead-up to the 2032 Games could offer considerable economic and societal gains for Brisbane and Queensland.
Justin McGowan, CEO of Trade and Investment Queensland, stressed the vital role of direct flights for Queensland’s businesses. He underscored the importance of personal connections in a digitally-driven landscape, particularly in building and maintaining international business relationships. McGowan recognized the United States as a key trade ally and source of foreign investment for Queensland.
Brisbane Airport has broadened its connections, now featuring direct services to 32 international cities and 62 domestic locations. This advancement establishes the airport as Australia’s most connected domestic airport and a major international hub.
The new Delta Air Lines route signifies more than mere transportation. It represents greater economic prospects, cultural interaction, and strategic links between Queensland and the United States, yielding potential long-lasting benefits across sectors including business, tourism, and global relations.
