Delta to offer flat beds on flights to Heathrow Airport
Delta Airlines has announced that its business class passengers will soon be offered fully-flat beds on its flights to Heathrow Airport from New York and Atlanta.

The airline will install the seats on its Boeing 767 fleet in time for them to be available for summer 2009.

It was also announced that the airline will offer a third daily non-stop flight between New York JFK and London Heathrow next year, which will be operated by its joint venture partner Air France.

This additional service will give customers the option of a morning, early evening or late evening departure from New York.

Glen Hauenstein, Delta's executive vice president of network planning, said: "Delta continues to listen to our customers' requests for enhanced service in the world's major markets and we are pleased to add the consistency of 180-degree full flat beds to all Delta flights operating at the world's no.1 business airport – Heathrow.

"The introduction of full-flat service onboard the Delta 767 fleet will enhance our position in the highly competitive US-to-Heathrow market."

Delta's transatlantic network also incorporates Gatwick Airport, with a twice-daily service to Atlanta and a daily flight to Cincinatti.
