Staff Report

Monday, January 22nd, 2024

Delta is set to elevate this year’s Masters Tournament experience by nearly doubling its seat capacity year-over-year to Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) from April 7-15. The expansive schedule includes nine routes — six brand-new — and boasts over 1,300 seats daily to AGS, marking a substantial increase from 2023.

The robust schedule features new routes from Washington, D.C., Boston, and Austin, cities where passenger demand for nonstop service to the Masters is high, along with flights from New York-JFK, Palm Beach and Orlando. Delta will also resume flights from LaGuardia and Detroit and expand services from Atlanta.

“Delta will provide golf enthusiasts worldwide with increased access to the game with over 200 convenient one-stop connections to Augusta through our leading hubs in Atlanta, Detroit, Boston and now notably via JFK where Delta operates a robust global network,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s S.V.P. of Network Planning. “And as an official partner again this year, customers can expect a Delta experience that goes beyond the flight, from takeoff to the greens in Augusta.”
