Delta Air Lines now offers improved connectivity for Middle East passengers travelling to the US with the opening of carrier's nonstop daily flights from Dubai to Atlanta. Beginning November 8, Delta will also launch a four times weekly nonstop flight from Kuwait City to Atlanta.

Dubai is one of over 50 new international destinations Delta has added to its network since 2005 as part of its accelerated global expansion.
