Delta Air Lines stated it is gradually closing reservations for Detroit-Tokyo Haneda services from 31-Aug-2011, as per a 06-Jul-2011 GDS inventory display (Airline Route, 06-Jul-2011). The Skyteam member has received approval from the US Department of Transportation to temporarily suspend operations on the route once again, between Sep-2011 and May-2012, as it is struggling with the booking numbers after the 11-Mar-2011 earthquake and tsunami. It plans to resume operations on the route as early as 01-Jun-2012.
