Delta is adding two new nonstop routes out of Boston Logan International Airport for 2027, with daily flights to Reykjavik and four-times-weekly service to Venice set to put the airport on the map for travelers chasing Icelandic waterfalls and Italian canals alike. The airline confirmed both additions as part of a broader push to grow Logan's standing as a transatlantic hub.
According to Delta's announcement, the new daily nonstop service between Boston and Reykjavik begins April 12, 2027, and will run through October 30. The Venice route follows about a month later, with four-times-weekly flights launching May 7 and continuing through October 29, 2027. As NBC Boston reported, the Venice addition was confirmed in late September.
Reykjavik will become Delta's 14th unique long-haul destination from Boston during peak summer months and its 16th international destination overall, per the same Delta release. Venice, meanwhile, will be the airline's 13th unique long-haul destination from Logan and its 12th in continental Europe during that same summer stretch — a notable expansion for a single New England airport's international footprint.
What Flying the New Routes Will Look Like
The Reykjavik route will fly aboard a Boeing 757-200 outfitted with Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main cabins, the airline's release notes. The Venice route gets a larger jet, an Airbus A330-300 featuring Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main. Boston will become Delta's third U.S. gateway to Venice, connecting the Italian city to nearly 20 destinations across the country through onward flights.
Delta is also folding in upgrades to existing Boston-Europe service alongside the two new routes. The carrier says Boston-to-Milan flights will increase to daily frequency in 2027, building on Milan service the airline already operates from Logan.
Massport Sees a Boost for Ties With Italy
Massport's executive director of aviation welcomed the Venice route as a win for both tourism and regional ties, saying it provides passengers with another opportunity to experience Italy's incredible culture, history and tourism while strengthening the ties between the two regions, according to Delta's release.
The timing lines up with a strong year for Logan overall. The airport handled 43.2 million passengers in 2025, and international passenger traffic climbed 3.8% to 10 million — the airport's highest total ever, according to Massport's year-end review. That same review notes Delta already added nonstop service to Barcelona and Milan from Logan in 2025, part of a steady buildout of the airline's European network there.
Part of a Wider Transatlantic Push
Boston isn't the only market getting new attention from Delta's 2027 route planning. Aviacionaldia reports that the carrier's broader transatlantic strategy includes launching new point-to-point connections, moving up start dates for seasonal spring flights, and extending operating frequencies into the fall and winter months.
Other airlines are also circling Iceland's market for next summer. Simple Flying reports that American Airlines plans to resume seasonal nonstop service between Philadelphia and Keflavik starting May 27, after an eight-year absence, while Icelandair is preparing to begin nonstop flights to St. Louis on May 14, operating up to four times a week. Those additions suggest Delta's Reykjavik bet lands amid renewed airline interest in Iceland as a transatlantic connecting point.
For now, Delta has not detailed fares or ticket availability for either new Boston route, leaving travelers to wait for booking windows to open ahead of the spring 2027 launches.
