Delta-Memphis cuts flights

Delta Air Lines is planning to lay off 84 employees from its operation at the Memphis (Tenn.) International Airport; and is cutting four cities from its non-stop flight destinations list. Beginning Jan. 5, Delta will scrap MIA’s non-stops to New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Dallas/Fort Worth. In April, Delta will no longer fly non-stops between Memphis and Reagan-Washington National Airport. Delta has been cutting Memphis flights due to low traffic counts. The airline also confirmed plans for seasonal non-stops to Las Vegas starting March 4; Salt Lake City on June 5; and from Dec. 20-Jan. 10, weekly non-stops to Cancun, Mexico.
