WORCESTER, MA — Central Massachusetts flyers are getting a little more variety in their flight schedules. Starting on Friday, Delta Airlines will offer flights out of Worcester Regional Airport between Worcester and Detroit.

The first flight leaves Worcester around 6 a.m. on Friday and gets to Detroit Metro Airport two hours later. An announcement was made almost a year ago that daily flights would begin between Worcester and Detroit through Delta.

The airline is now the third commercial carrier to offer daily service at Worcester Regional. The other two airlines are Jet Blue and American Airlines.

According to the Telegram, the airline has already seen success in advance bookings for the flight. The outlet reported that American Airlines launched daily service to Worcester in 2018 but eventually scaled back the frequency.
