"We are pleased to continue to expand our reach in the Northeast, offering our customers in Boston and Philadelphia more options and convenience when traveling for business or pleasure," said Bob Cortelyou, Delta's senior vice president – Network Planning. "As Boston's largest carrier in terms of destinations, we are thrilled to further expand our network with the inauguration of service to Philadelphia."
