Henceforth, I expect any Africa routes out of Atlanta, because of a larger affluent black population, and forture 500 companies, to do better than Houston oil traffic feed.
Delta's partnered with KoreanAir. There's a flight from Atlanta - Seoul then on to Shanghai. So...I'm not sure they'll be looking to establish a direct route soon...
