With the event going down this coming April, the move represents a greater than 25% capability increase year-over-year (YoY) in comparison with five years ago.
With Atlanta situated lower than 150 miles away from the tournament’s home, Delta has as many as eight each day flights scheduled over an eight-day period. There are a complete of nine routes to Augusta this 12 months, with frequencies scheduled as far north as Recent England and as far west as Texas.
“Increased access to the sport”
Delta announced its Masters Tournament flight schedule on Friday. The tournament, which is the primary major golf championship of the 12 months, takes place from April eighth to 14th, although Delta will offer flights from the seventh to the fifteenth. The expansive schedule, its largest-to-date, features six recent routes, contributing to greater than 1,300 each day seats to Augusta Regional Airport (AGS).

Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President of Network Planning, spoke about this 12 months’s plans.
“Delta will provide golf enthusiasts worldwide with increased access to the sport 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 sturdy global network. And as an official partner again this 12 months, customers can expect a Delta experience that goes beyond the flight, from takeoff to the greens in Augusta.”
High passenger demand
Among the many recent routes, the carrier will connect Austin, Boston, Recent York-JFK, Orlando, Palm Beach, and the nation’s capital on to AGS, because the passenger demand for nonstop service from those cities is high. Completing its 2024 Masters Tournament flight schedule, Delta will resume its routes from Recent York (LaGuardia), Detroit, and Atlanta.
