Delta enhancing domestic schedules in Key East Coast Business Markets
Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) this fall is continuing to focus on enhancing flight schedules in key business markets, with added service planned between 21 cities and Washington, D.C. or New York.
The schedule enhancements do not affect Delta’s previously announced capacity guidance for 2010 and 2011.
Fall schedule highlights include:
* Increased service at Washington-Reagan National Airport, with new or increased service to nine cities beginning Oct. 31.
* Enhanced domestic and international service at LaGuardia and JFK airports in New York, with new or expanded service to 12 cities beginning Sept. 7.
“As we plan our schedules for the fall, we continue to be focused on connecting communities of all sizes to the nation’s top business markets,” said Bob Cortelyou, Delta’s senior vice president – Network Planning. “From New York to Washington to Chicago to Los Angeles, we have continued to optimize flight schedules for our business customers without adding additional aircraft.”
