Delta scraps Comair
Delta has announced that Comair, a regional subsidiary, will stop flying after September 29.
In a memo issued on Friday to the Officers and Directors of Delta Air Lines, Don Bornhorst, Senior Vice President of Delta Connection, said:
"While regional flying has and will remain a key component of Delta’s network, customer expectations and the unit costs of regional flying have evolved. In response, Delta recently announced its plans to reduce the total number of regional jets in its network while adding more mainline flying. This includes reducing the number of 50-seat regional jets from nearly 350 aircraft to 125 or fewer in the upcoming years. As a result of this reduction and changes to its customer-focused business strategy, Delta has made the difficult decision to cease Comair’s operations."
Comair president, Ryan Gumm said that his airline’s demise wouldn’t result in "any significant changes to Delta’s network, which has enough flexibility to accomodate these changes."
He assured the flying public that there would be no disruption to customers and no big adjustments to Delta’s flight schedule or destinations served.
