Delta to fly direct to Europe from Salt Lake City, USA - by Paul Beebe

Delta Air Lines said Friday it will start direct flights from Salt Lake City International Airport to Europe next year - a route state officials say will end in Paris.

"We plan on having an announcement about our 2008 international flight [from Salt Lake] in the next couple of weeks," Delta spokesman Anthony Black said Friday. Black refused to disclose the international destination on the grounds that the company does not discuss details of negotiations on new routes. But on Friday, the Governor's Office of Economic Development board approved a request from Delta for $250,000 to help fund the startup of nonstop transatlantic flights from Salt Lake to Paris, possibly in the spring.
