Delta suspend Cincinnati – Gatwick and Edinburgh – New York flights
12.06.09
Delta said that it would suspend its flights between Gatwick and Cincinnati and Edinburgh and New York. The airline said that it took the decision as it is suffering from the recession, rising oil prices and from the spread of swine flu, with passenger income falling by 20 percent between January and April compared with a year ago, a trend it expects to continue.
A spokesman for BAA, which owns both Gatwick and Edinburgh airports, said: ‘We hope these suspensions are short lived and that Delta will re-instate the routes once economic conditions improve. Clearly, this decision is part of a global strategy by Delta to reduce costs in the face of the current recession, and these are only two of a number of international routes affected.’
