Press ReleaseSource: Delta Air Lines, Inc. Delta Air Lines to Serve 100+ Destinations from Salt Lake City with Seven More Non-Stop Destinations from Utah
Monday March 6, 1:00 pm ET
New service to Aspen, Bellingham, Des Moines, Fargo, Sioux Falls, Toronto, Victoria highlights Delta's next wave of growth; special low fares celebrate new routes
SALT LAKE CITY, March 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Delta Air Lines this summer will offer customers even more choices for travel to and from the airline's growing Salt Lake City hub with the addition of seven new non-stop destinations effective June 8. The new destinations -- which will be the only non-stop service offered between Salt Lake City and any of these cities -- are: Aspen/Snowmass, Colo.; Bellingham, Wash.; Des Moines, Iowa; Fargo, N.D.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Service to Aspen/Snowmass and Victoria will be operated seasonally between June 8 and September 2, 2006. Delta begins its inaugural service to Long Beach, California -- its 99th destination out of Salt Lake and later this week, will initiate service to its 100th destination from Salt Lake City when inaugural service begins to Mazatlan Mexico on Wednesday, March 8. Salt Lake City is Delta's third-largest hub and with Delta's increased presence has become the second-largest hub in the entire Western region.
``Delta is thrilled to be a part of this momentous occasion. Serving our 100th destination out of Salt Lake is certainly something to celebrate, but we're not stopping there,'' said Bob Cortelyou, Delta's vice president of Network Planning. ``We are proud to continue to expand our presence in Salt Lake City with the addition of seven more non-stop routes for our Salt Lake City customers. Since the beginning of 2005, Salt Lake City has become Delta's fastest growing domestic hub in terms of destinations served as customers have responded favorably to a growing line-up of popular new flights from our convenient Mountain West hub to destinations throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.''
Since October, Delta has added or announced new service between Salt Lake City and 21 non-stop destinations, including flights launched last year to leisure and business hot spots such as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Kona, Hawaii; Hartford, Conn., New York-LaGuardia; Miami, Fla.; and Columbus, Ohio.
To celebrate its newest routes, for a limited time Delta is offering special introductory airfares for travel via Salt Lake City to or from any of the hub's seven new destinations. Tickets must be purchased by March 21, 2006.
