Today, Delta Air Lines announced it will discontinue service from Atlanta, Georgia to Hilton Head, South Carolina on the evening of November 2, due to operational and economic challenges associated with the market. As a result, we must close down our station at the Hilton Head Island Airport on that date.
We have been challenged by substantial weight restrictions resulting from the runway length at Hilton Head; and coupled with the challenges of the current economic environment, operating the route has become difficult financially. Although Delta will continue to assess the market, it has no plans to resume service to Hilton Head at this time.
We will continue to serve our Hilton Head customers through the final date of station operation, and Mesaba is committed to easing the transition for our HHH employees.
