A NEW daily air service between Edinburgh and Atlanta in the United States has received the official go-ahead.
Delta, the world's second largest airline, will launch the flights on May 5 next year.
Richard Jeffrey, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, described the new service as "a significant vote of confidence in Edinburgh, its international airport and Scotland's travelling public".
He added: "This is an exciting new route for Edinburgh, offering the city - and Scotland as a whole - direct access to one of North America's largest and most important hubs, and affords Scots travellers and our tourism industry an excellent opportunity to promote Scotland abroad."
Transport Minister Tavish Scott said: "This is good news for Scotland. All-year-round air links between Edinburgh and Atlanta will provide better business opportunities between Scotland and the United States."
