Delta Air Lines will add two more international destinations from Pittsburgh International Airport beginning on Saturday, Dec. 21.

The two routes now available for booking are Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Nassau, Bahamas. 

"These new non-stop flights will provide much-needed access to popular Caribbean destinations for our business and leisure travelers," said Rich Fitzgerald, Allegheny County chief executive. "We are thrilled that Delta has committed these resources to the region and are pleased to provide these new routes."
