“We are proud of celebrating 15 years of service to the Peruvian market, and we will continue to support progress and growth in the market and offer the best products to suit the needs of business and tourists,” said Nicolas Ferri, Delta?s vice president, Latin America and the Caribbean. “Through our hub in Atlanta, we offer the most convenient connections especially in the Lima-Tokyo route, one of preferred international destination for our customers traveling from Peru.”

Delta offers seven nonstop flights per week between Lima and Atlanta, connecting Peruvian travelers with the more than 1,000 daily flights to 208 destinations that Delta operates, including nonstop service to 65 international destinations. Seeking to improve customers' experience both in flight and on the ground, Delta has made a major investment at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a new international terminal, which opened in spring 2012 and features full signage in Spanish through the airport.

Delta has invested USD 3 billion during the last two years to improve customer on-board experience by remodeling its fleet to include the popular Economy Comfort seats in flights to and from Peru, as well as expanding its state-of-the-art entertainment system with a library of 250 movies, 100 TV programs, 50 hours of HBO, video games and kid-friendly programs.

Delta recently introduced the eBoarding Pass service for all passengers travelling from Lima.
