Delta Air Lines shifts its non-hub flights serving Paris

Delta Air Lines has made interesting network moves during the last few years, seizing on opportunities from mid-sized airports. Raleigh Durham has become a focus city for the airline and is one of several non-hub markets featuring nonstop flights operated by Delta to Paris.

In 2018 Delta launched flights from Indianapolis to Paris, joining flights to its French hub from US non-hub airports in Raleigh, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. After a decade of service, Delta has opted not to resume seasonal service from Pittsburgh to Paris, citing overcapacity in that particular trans Atlantic market.

Officials from Indianapolis appear bullish about Delta's first year of service to Paris, and unlike its situation in Pittsburgh, Delta has a stronger position in Indianapolis, Raleigh and Cincinnati that should help to sustain long haul flights for now.
