Major airlines are removing flights at a time when the busy summer travel season is taking off.
Delta Air Lines announced it will reduce 100 daily departures from July 1 to August 7 to “minimize disruptions and bounce back faster when challenges occur.”
“More than any time in our history, the various factors currently impacting our operation – weather and air traffic control, vendor staffing, increased COVID case rates contributing to higher-than-planned unscheduled absences in some workgroups – are resulting in an operation that isn’t consistently up to the standards Delta has set for the industry in recent years.
“We deeply appreciate the energy and efforts of our people and the confidence of our customers as we adapt and pivot to ensure we provide the airline-of-choice experience we’re so proud to be known for,” Chief Customer Experience Officer Allison Ausband said.
