MANILA, Philippines – After battling to secure a slot at the congested Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), Delta Air Lines has finalized its return to the Philippines, announcing on Friday that it will launch nonstop flights between Manila and Los Angeles beginning in March 2027.

This service will mark the first time the Atlanta-based carrier flies back to the Philippines since it suspended operations in 2021 amid disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
