Delta Air Lines is adding another new route to the Caribbean this winter, with a nonstop flight between Atlanta and Cartagena. 

In another boost for the booming destination on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Delta will be launching a new service on Dec. 22. 

Atlanta-Cartagena flights will operate three times each week, operated on Boeing 737 aircraft with first class, Delta Comfort+ and main cabin service, according to the carrier.

More carriers have been adding flights between the United States and Cartagena, including Colombian carrier Avianca, which just restarted its Miami-Cartagena flights in June.
