Delta cuts flights from Boston
Delta Air Lines Inc. will cease direct flights to at least six cities from Boston and roll back daily service to two other destinations. As a result, Logan International Airport’s largest carrier will be JetBlue Airways, based on number of destinations served. According to a report in The Boston Globe, the service cutbacks are aimed at coping with the soaring price of jet fuel. While some airlines are raising fuel surcharges and tacking on fees for extras such as more legroom and a second checked-in suitcase, Delta is cutting capacity on less profitable routes nationwide. Delta spokeswoman Susan Chana Elliott told the Globe, “Most of it is going to be on your point-to-point flights, flights that aren’t routed to our hub and that are served by 50-seat regional jets that are disproportionately impacted by the high cost of fuel.” In June, Delta will terminate nonstop service to Las Vegas, New Orleans, Greensboro, N.C., Savannah, Ga., Louisville, Ky., and Charleston, S.C. Delta is also canceling its second daily flight to Los Angeles International Airport, leaving it with one daily run as of May 1.
