Delta will cut back on domestic flightsPosted by Retirement on: 2005-10-05 08:38:43 in category:
Stocks & Securities [ Print | Permalink / 0 Comment(s) ] Effort meant to conserve energy, carrier says THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines Inc., buffeted by high fuel costs after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, said it is reducing its domestic flight schedule. The Atlanta-based carrier isn't experiencing a shortage of jet fuel but is conserving energy, it said. Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly said it's impossible to say exactly how many flights will be reduced because it will depend on travel each day. The reductions will be minimal, though, affecting early-morning and late-night flights that have low bookings, Kelly said. For example, flights are more likely to be cut on Tuesday or Wednesdays rather than on busier travel days such as Friday, Sunday and Monday. Delta will notify affected passengers a few days in advance and will try to offer them choices about rescheduling flights, Kelly said. The company has no end date for the flight reductions. International flights will not be affected, because it would be harder to accommodate passengers with other flights on those routes. Also Tuesday, Delta said it plans to fly eight new routes to Mexico as part of its bankruptcy reorganization plan, which includes boosting international capacity. The service would include flights from Atlanta to Acapulco and Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa; from Boston, Cincinnati and Washington, D.C., to Cancun; and from Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa.
