Delta will launch its first-ever daily nonstop service to Porto, Portugal (OPO) from New York-JFK beginning May 21, 2026, giving customers direct access to one of Europe’s most colorful coastal cities. The new route is part of Delta’s broader trans-Atlantic expansion and reflects the airline’s commitment to offering more destinations, more flights and more elevated experiences than ever before.  

Porto: Where the Douro meets discovery 

Set along the banks of the Douro River, Porto blends old-world charm with modern vibrance. Its colorful waterfront, winding cobblestone streets and striking azulejo-tiled churches invite discovery at every turn. The city is also a culinary capital, known for fresh Atlantic seafood, northern Portuguese specialties, and the port wine cellars that have made Porto famous worldwide. 

Beyond the city, travelers can journey into the rolling vineyards of the Douro Valley or unwind along the golden beaches of Portugal’s northern coast. Whether it’s sipping a glass of port at sunset, exploring the city’s thriving arts scene, or experiencing its warm hospitality, Porto offers something unforgettable for every traveler. 

With the addition of Porto, Delta builds on its existing service to Portugal. The airline already connects the U.S. to Lisbon with daily year-round service from New York-JFK and seasonal daily service from Boston, giving customers even more choice when traveling to the Iberian Peninsula.
