Delta Air Lines, the world's second largest carrier in terms of passengers carried and the leading U.S. airline across the Atlantic, has beefed up its Northern Emirates presence with the Sharjah expansion of Sharaf Travel - the airline's UAE-exclusive General Sales Agent (GSA).
Following hard on the heels of last week's opening of its first Abu Dhabi branch, Sharaf Travel has upgraded and relocated its Sharjah operations with the opening of a brand new office in the heart of the emirate's business district, offering dedicated Delta Air Lines ticketing facilities.
"Delta's GSA network is now significant in all three major emirates with dedicated ticketing infrastructure in place," said Kevin Smith, Director Sales Europe.
"Strong Delta branding in key locations such as Khaleed Bin Waleed Road in Bur Dubai, Al Arooba Street in Sharjah and Electra Street in the capital, ensures awareness of our operations remains intact."
Sharaf Travel has represented Delta in Dubai since August 1994.
From Dubai, Delta offers connections and fare options via its European departure points such as Frankfurt and London, non-stop to Atlanta, New York or Cincinnati using Emirates airlines and other quality carriers. From Abu Dhabi, travel can be taken on Gulf Air connecting to Delta services from Paris, London or Frankfurt.
Delta, a founding member of the global airline Alliance, SkyTeam, also offers connections from Dubai on codeshare flights operated by its alliance partner Air France. Delta offers flight connections to over 150 American cities for U.A.E. originating travellers and cargo shippers.
Through codeshare agreements with its global alliance partner Air France, Delta can offer convenient connections via Paris/Charles de Gaulle airport to its hubs in Atlanta, Cincinnati and New York/JFK each with their multiple onward connections. |
