Delta to temporarily consolidate flying in select U.S. metros

Delta will also temporarily suspend service to Saskatoon International Airport beginning May 13.

Stations will remain closed at least until September 2020, as Delta continues to evaluate overall network needs. Delta will re-accommodate customers whose travel is impacted as a result of service suspensions in these stations. Affected Delta employees will be provided pay protection options through Sept. 30, 2020.

"The safety of our employees and customers remains our primary focus as we navigate these challenges together," said Sandy Gordon, Senior Vice President - Domestic Airport Operations. "By consolidating operations while customer traffic is low, we can allow more of our people to stay home in accordance with local health guidelines."

Delta has announced an 85 percent reduction in our second quarter schedule, which include reductions of 80 percent in U.S. domestic capacity and 90 percent internationally.

Delta is looking at other opportunities to take similar measures in additional markets. Late last month, Delta filed a request with the U.S. Department of Transportation to consolidate operations in another nine cities served by multiple airports. That request is still under review.
