Delta Air Lines is flying 48 World War II veterans back to Normandy, France, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion that catalyzed the war’s end – marking only the third time a U.S. passenger airline is flying directly to Normandy, with the other two being the Delta Charter flights to Normandy in 2022 and 2023.

In partnership with Best Defense Foundation and the support of Michelin North America, Inc. and Boeing, Delta is providing a special charter flight directly to Deauville-Normandy Airport from Atlanta on June 2 on a Boeing 767-300, returning June 12, to support the veterans as they are recognized and celebrated with parades, school visits, ceremonies, the official D-Day Commemoration and more.
