TRAVELERS have been left disappointed after a long-serving Delta flight has been terminated.
Delta Airlines is making a dramatic change to its flight schedule by permanently ending its popular nonstop route.

The airline – which has flown to this destination for 34 years – is ceasing travel starting in January 2026.
The flight path affected is between New York-JFK and Brussels.
Instead, the airline are launching a new direct flight from Atlanta to Brussels next spring.
Delta has reassured passengers that if they have a flight already booked on the canceled route, the airline will contact travelers directly.
It’s thought they will try to rebook customers on the new Atlanta route at no extra cost.
Booked globe-trotters might also be rerouted through a European partner airline, like Air France or KLM, if a flight is scheduled during the gap between the end of the JFK route and the start of the new Atlanta route.
Users also have the option to receive a full refund for the unused part of their ticket.
If passengers have any issues with bookings, they are advised to contact Delta Reservations or manage flight through the Delta app or website.
While Delta hasn’t given a specific reason for the change, a spokesperson noted that the new Atlanta route will “better align with customer demand.”
Going forward, Brussels Airlines will be the only carrier still offering a nonstop flight from JFK to Brussels.
Other airline options from the New York area include United and Lufthansa which offer direct flights to Brussels from Newark (EWR).
A spokesperson for the airline said: “Delta will transition its Brussels service to Atlanta beginning March 8, 2026, to better align with customer demand…
“The final New York-JFK to Brussels flight will operate Jan. 5 from JFK and Jan. 6 from BRU.”
Earlier this month, Delta Airlines announced it was permanently canceling all flights between two more US airports from November 8.
The carrier is shutting down its route between Austin and Midland, Texas, one of its flights to service the Western part of the state.
The reason behind the route cancellation was decreasing demand.
Multiple other carriers will continue to provide flights between the two airports, including Southwest, United, and American Airlines.
Delta has just added three non-stop flights out of Austin to Denver, Columbus and Kansas City.
