Delta will cancel light flights

Monday, 05 Oct, 2005 0

Delta Air Lines is canceling certain flights if there are not enough passengers to save fuel reported CNN.

The cancellations mostly affect early and late night flights on days such as Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday when fewer travelers are flying.

Delta says before a flight is canceled, passengers must be easily accommodated with another flight shortly after the cancellation and that both legs of the journey must be considered “light loads.” Passengers will be notified of the cancellations at least two days in advance, said the CNN report.

Of Delta’s 4,500 domestic and international flights the cancellations affect a few dozen each day.

These cancellations are on over and above a 15 percent domestic flight reduction plan announced in September, after Delta filed for bankruptcy, citing high fuel prices as one of the reasons.
