Flown by Delta
Delta Air Lines is expanding its transatlantic footprint with a new non-stop service connecting Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD). Scheduled to launch for the Summer 2026 season, this route provides a vital link for travelers heading from New England to the Spanish capital. Operating with some of the most modern aircraft in Delta's fleet, this service caters to the high demand for European summer travel.
This route operates on a daily frequency during the summer season, utilizing the state-of-the-art Airbus A330-900neo. The flight connects the historic hub of Boston directly with the cultural heart of Spain, offering a flight duration of approximately seven hours eastbound.
“The addition of the BOS-MAD route strengthens Delta's position in the competitive Boston market. It offers a premium direct alternative for business travelers and tourists alike, reducing the need for connections through other major hubs like New York or Atlanta.”
