Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) has announced it will suspend flights to 10 airports in the United States that lie within major metro areas which it also serves through other, larger airports.
The carrier said beginning May 13 and until at least September 2020, it will suspend the following stations:
- Chicago Midway (served via Chicago O'Hare),
- Oakland International (served via San Francisco),
- Burbank and Long Beach (served via Los Angeles International),
- Providence and Manchester, NH (served via Boston),
- White Plains (served via New York La Guardia),
- Newburgh (served via New York JFK),
- Akron Regional (served via Cleveland Hopkins), and
- Newport News (served via Norfolk International, VA).
"By consolidating operations while customer traffic is low, we can allow more of our people to stay home in accordance with local health guidelines," Senior Vice President (Domestic Airport Operations) Sandy Gordon said.
The consolidation is allowed under the terms of the CARES Act as Delta will retain services to airports serving the same metro areas. The carrier has separately applied for an exemption to consolidate services at nine other airports, where two points are located relatively nearby but do not formally serve the same agglomeration. The request is still under review by the US Department of Transportation.
