Delta Shutting Down Service At 10 Airports Because Of Covid-19

Delta made an announcement today that they are shutting down service at 10 airports because of Covid-19.  These are all airports that have another airport near by that is expected to assist any passengers that still need to travel. The closures will start May 13th.

Delta will also temporarily suspend service to Saskatoon International Airport beginning May 13.

Stations will remain closed at least until September 2020, as Delta continues to evaluate overall network needs. Delta will re-accommodate customers whose travel is impacted as a result of service suspensions in these stations. Affected Delta employees will be provided pay protection options through Sept. 30, 2020.

Final Thoughts

This is a move on Delta’s part to protect their front line employees but also an effort to reduce costs.  There is no point in servicing two airports near each other when planes are going out so empty.  You will want to reach out to Delta if you have travel planned from one of these airports during the time frame listed above.

  1. “Affected Delta employees will be provided pay protection options through Sept. 30, 2020.”

    A lot of these stations, if not all, are probably outsourced (thus not Delta employees) and are likely not protected.
