From Rome to the West Coast: Delta Air Lines will launch a new non-stop connection from the Italian capital to Seattle starting May 7, 2026. The flight will be operated four times a week with an A-330/900neo aircraft. It will thus become the sixth destination served by Delta from Rome-Fiumicino airport, after New York-"JFK", Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Minneapolis.

In the past decade, the airline has launched flights to 28 new markets from Seattle and now operates up to 180 connections per day from this airport to more than 60 global destinations. From Seattle, through Delta's global alliances, passengers also have access to hundreds of additional connections in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

At Seattle, the airline is also active in sustainability efforts; to date, 87% of baggage transport vehicles, conveyor belts, and aircraft towing equipment (Core fleet) are electric, as well as 70% of ground support equipment.

Alongside the Rome flight, the carrier has announced a new flight from Seattle to Barcelona starting in Summer 2026.
