The Salt Lake Tribune sees Delta international expansion: The Tribune reports that Delta is beginning to look past its successful Salt Lake City-to-Paris route and is contemplating a second international destination, possibly Tokyo. On Thursday, the board of the Governor's Office of Economic Development agreed to give Delta $250,000 after the airline broached the idea of starting a route from its Salt Lake City hub to Japan's capital. "Should the incentive be accepted by them, I would expect an announcement of their intent to start this flight in the very near future, with the flight to actually begin some time next year," GOED Executive Director Jason Perry said. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said the Atlanta-based carrier now is "interested in exploring additional international opportunities,"
 
Why would they do Japan from salt lake city, if they already will have NWA's hub from seattle doing it?? Are they planning on shutting down SEA after the merger??

Not only SEA. NWA also does NRT from LAX, SFO, and PDX.

The new SEA 767ER base will be fed by Alaska Airlines, as a codeshare. The SLC-NRT flights will be fed by all of the SLC domestic connections. I have also heard AMS from SLC, as well as CDG and NRT, all on the A330. To throw another in there for free, expect BOS--NRT on the A330 also. We want to use the NRT slots that currently have cargo 742s on them for pax planes. The 777 will start JFK NRT back up soon, and we also will add ATL--HKG, SIN, and ATL-LAX-SYD on the 777 next year, from what I have heard....;) We shall see.....


Bye Bye---General Lee
