MORRISVILLE, N.C. — Delta Air Lines plans to expand its service between Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Los Angeles to seven-day service on April 8 and add a second flight to Orlando, Fla., and launch service to Tampa, Fla., on March 2, officials said Wednesday.

“RDU welcomes Delta’s new service additions,” Teresa Damiano, RDU deputy airport director of marketing and customer relations, said in a statement. “We have known for some time that our market could support daily service to Los Angeles and support Delta’s decision to upgrade this service.
