Parata Air, a new South Korean Low-Cost Carrier (LCC), has filed an application with the US Department Of Transportation (DOT) seeking permission to begin service to the United States.

On October 25, Delta Air Lines will end flights on its highest-capacity equipment: the 339-seat Airbus A350. It has 30 business class seats (2-2-2), along with 63 with extra legroom (3-3-3) and 246 in the main cabin (3-3-3). Only its ex-LATAM aircraft had this configuration.

Its final passenger-carrying service with this configuration will be from Amsterdam back to Atlanta, a fortress hub at which Delta has 79% of the flights. It’ll be flown to Singapore’s Paya Lebar…
