SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED -PROTECT ACCORDINGLY 
 
1. (SBU) Summary.  Delta flight 215 touched down at Abuja Nnamdi 
Azikiwe International Airport June 11 at 12:13 p.m., currently the 
only U.S. flag carrier to fly direct from the U.S. to Nigeria's 
capital city Abuja. The plane was met by a full staff of ground 
crews and customer service staff to aid the passengers; but devoid 
of any ceremony or fanfare.  Delta chose to underplay the event due 
to the security issues that caused the last minute cancelation of 
its Nairobi and Monrovia routes.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Delta flight 216 from New York to Abuja made a 
picture-perfect soft touchdown at Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International 
Airport on June 11 at 12:13 pm.  The Boeing 757 plane was met by 
Delta ground and customer service crews, making sure the passengers 
received the best possible customer service as they deplaned and 
collected their luggage; but the arrival was devoid of any 
ceremonial fanfare.  Delta is sensitive regarding the last minute 
cancellation of two African routes the first week of June and the 
large ceremony that had to be cancelled in Nairobi, Kenya. 
 
3. (U) Delta held a press conference at the Abuja Sheraton hotel at 
2:00 pm on June 11 to make formal announcements.  The direct flight 
between New York's John F. Kennedy International airport (JFK) and 
Abuja International airport has begun with service twice weekly and 
moves to three times weekly effective July 1.  It is the only direct 
service from the capital city to the United States. The new route 
offers passengers more than 45 connections to destinations such as 
Washington DC, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Boston and Chicago. 
 
4. (SBU) The day concluded with an evening meeting held for ticket 
and travel agents to discuss Delta's plans for the New York-Abuja 
route.  Delta Commercial Manager for East and West Africa Robert 
Bryan shared with EconOff on June 11 that Delta is experiencing 
significant reservation cancellations since the Atlanta and Nairobi, 
Kenya and the Atlanta-Monrovia, Liberia routes were cancelled due to 
security issues. On the Abuja routes, Delta is flying a Boeing 
757-200 ETOPS aircraft with 174 seats; 16 in business class and 158 
in economy.  The flight departs Abuja at 10:15p.m. and arrives into 
New York-JFK at 6:45 a.m.  For the return trip, the flight departs 
New York at 3:50 p.m. and arrives into Abuja at 10:30 a.m. the 
following day.  Both flights operate via Dakar, Senegal. 
 
3. (SBU) Comment.  The Mission is proud to see this direct flight 
begin and will continue to work with the Abuja airport authorities, 
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, and Transportation Security 
Administration, and U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on safety 
and security issues.  Nigerian airline carriers are eager to fly to 
the U.S. and Nigeria continues its quest to attain a Category 1 
rating from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.  End Comment.
