New Delta Route: Delta Air Lines Inc. said it would offer its first coast-to-coast flights next year with nonstop service on the crowded New York-to-Los Angeles route. The Atlanta-based carrier said the flights could link up with routes across the Pacific to Asia. Delta currently serves Hawaii and is seeking U.S. government approval to fly between Los Angeles and Sydney. American and Northwest airlines have also filed for permission for the Los Angeles-Sydney route.
