Delta Launches First-Ever Flight Between SLC and Lima

Delta is expanding its global network with a historic milestone.The airline will launch its first-ever nonstop service from Salt Lake City (SLC) to South America.

From December 4, 2025, through January 25, 2026, Delta will operate daily flights to Lima, Peru (LIM), offering customers in the region direct access to one of South America’s most vibrant capital cities.

The flight will be operated on a widebody Boeing 767-300ER featuring four product experiences: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort and Delta Main.  

A new gateway to Peru and throughout South America  

Lima is Salt Lake City’s most in-demand South American destination, and this new nonstop Delta service marks the first direct connection between the two cities.

The route will also provide convenient one-stop access to Peru for travelers across the Western U.S., including from San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Las Vegas, Sacramento, and Boise.  

Once in Lima, travelers will enjoy a vibrant mix of world-class cuisine, rich history, and coastal culture. For outdoor enthusiasts, Peru is a gateway to high-altitude treks in the Andes, Machu Picchu, Pacific surfing and Amazon rainforest adventures.   

This route strengthens Delta’s partnership with LATAM, offering customers convenient one-stop connections from SLC to major South American cities including  São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and numerous other destinations.

Travelers connecting in Lima will now enjoy an improved airport experience, thanks to Jorge Chávez International Airport’s new state-of-the-art terminal, designed to streamline international transfers and elevate the customer journey from arrival to departure.

Elevated Travel Begins at Salt Lake City 

Salt Lake City is a key Delta hub, with up to 265 peak-day departures to 96 destinations. Delta continues to invest in the airport’s future, including the 2020 opening of the 900,000-square-foot Concourse A, which features 50 Delta gates and 19 new restaurants and shops. By 2027, additional gates will be added to support continued growth.

Delta One customers can take advantage of lie-flat seats and premium amenities like the luxurious new Missoni-designed bedding, amenity kits, and in-flight accessories that elevate the travel experience with comfort, elegance and signature Missoni style.

Eligible customers traveling through SLC can also enjoy the 28,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club on Concourse A, which includes a Sky Deck overlooking panoramic mountain views and a 360-degree fireplace offering a premium experience before embarking on flights to Lima and beyond.
