Delta To Stop Service In These 10 Cities

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines continues to rein in its spending to curb losses due to the coronavirus pandemic. The airline says it will cease operations in 10 U.S. cities.

In addition to layoffs, the company is making several cuts to withstand immense pressure on the travel industry. 

Delta says the changes will take effect in the affected markets beginning July 8, 2020.

Here are the 11 affected stations:

  • Aspen, CO (ASE)
  • Bangor, ME (BGR)
  • Erie, PA (ERI)
  • Flint, MI (FNT)
  • Fort Smith, AR (FSM)
  • Lincoln, NE (LNK)
  • New Bern/Morehead/Beaufort, NC (EWN)
  • Peoria, IL (PIA)
  • Santa Barbara, CA (SBA)
  • Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA (AVP)
  • Williston, ND (XWA)

“As the world responds to the COVID-19 pandemic, Delta continues to face an unprecedented impact to our business, and suspending operations at these airports will reduce costs where customer demand is low,” said Sandy Gordon, Senior Vice President – Domestic Airport Operations, said in a statement. “We will move quickly to work with affected customers, whose patience we sincerely appreciate as we navigate this unprecedented time together.”
