DL strengthens domestic hubs, offers more international choices September 7, 2005
Delta will accelerate the pace of its transformation through changes to its winter schedule that realign service at domestic hubs to be more efficient, shift capacity from domestic routes to meet growing international demand, and reduce fleet complexity by accelerating plans to retire inefficient aircraft.
"Today, we are announcing the latest in a series of integrated improvements to further strengthen our network by continuing to right-size our hubs, increase international flying and simplify our fleet – all key components of our transformation plan," said Jim Whitehurst, chief operating officer. "Together with earlier, major initiatives such as de-hubbing Dallas/Fort Worth, introducing SimpliFares and expanding point-to-point flying, these changes complement the service customers have come to expect from the world's second-largest airline in terms of passengers carried, while stepping up the pace of our customer-focused transformation."
Effective Dec. 1, Delta will right-size operations at its second-largest hub at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport to better match service to local passenger demand and optimize the balance of local and connecting traffic. With the changes, Delta will reduce mainline and Delta Connection carrier capacity by 26%, while boosting the percentage of local traffic from 36 to nearly 50% – well in line with other Delta and competitor hubs.
Additionally, Delta will replace service in nine markets currently served nonstop from Cincinnati by Delta Connection carriers ASA and Comair with connecting service through the Atlanta hub.
"In keeping with our customer-focused commitment, these scheduling improvements will have virtually no effect on the services the traveling public has come to expect from us as the No. 1 airline in the Cincinnati market. By consolidating flights into fewer flight banks and reducing flights in off-peak hours, we will increase customer choice during preferred travel times." Whitehurst said. "Importantly, as an international gateway, the Cincinnati area also will retain the international service its customers enjoy to eight nonstop destinations in Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean, and its status as one of the country's top 10 airline hubs."
Additionally, from the Atlanta and Salt Lake City hubs, Delta is expanding service to regional business destinations with new nonstop flights to 20 destinations, including between Salt Lake City and Columbus, Ohio, and between Atlanta and Bloomington and Moline, Ill.
