Delta Air Lines is permanently canceling one of its popular transatlantic flights as “customer demand[s]” have shifted.
A spokesperson for Delta confirmed the airline is axing one of its long-standing flights in 2026, according to Airline Geeks.
The company is slated to stop offering non-stop flights from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York to Brussels, Belgium.
Instead, the airline will transition its Brussels service to Atlanta beginning March 8, 2026, Airline Geeks reported.

The final New York-to-Brussels flight will operate Jan. 5, 2026 from JFK and Jan. 6, 2026 from Brussels.
“Delta apologizes for any inconvenience this change causes, and affected customers will be notified directly,” a spokesperson told Airline Geeks.
The report notes that after January, it will be the first time since 1991 the airline has not offered a nonstop flight from New York to Brussels, excluding a short period during COVID.

The news may come as a surprise to some travelers, especially after the outlet launched an initiative to increase transatlantic flights for summer 2025.
The airline highlighted Brussels as one of eight destinations for its “largest-ever trans-Atlantic summer schedule,” announced September 2024.
Delta then introduced nonstop flights from Atlanta to Brussels “providing a convenient connection between the U.S. and Belgium’s vibrant capital,” and was a “complement” to the airline’s then-exsisting service from New York-JFK.
