Delta resuming flights to Europe from Hartford

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Gov. M. Jodi Rell says nonstop flights from Bradley International Airport to Amsterdam will be resuming next year.
Rell and the state Department of Transportation say Delta Airlines, through its Northwest Airlines subsidiary, will operate the flights beginning June 2, 2009.

The flights will be made five times weekly between Bradley and Amsterdam using a 160-passenger jet, the Boeing 757-200.

There will be no flights on Tuesdays or Fridays, but the schedule calls for European-bound travelers to fly out of Bradley at 5:40 p.m. and arrive in Amsterdam just before 7 a.m. the next day.

Bradley in October lost its only nonstop service to Europe when Northwest Airlines Inc., ended its daily flight to Amsterdam, citing high fuel costs.
