Delta Airlines is spending £500,000 in Ireland over the next three months to promote its new Business-elite and Dublin-to-New York services, which will start on July 16th.

There is a crossover between the two services as the two daily flights to New York will include 96 Business-elite seats at a fare which starts at £1,890 (return).

Delta's market research shows that business class is growing seven times faster than first class - hence the decision to develop a high-quality business-oriented service.
