Delta cancels Memphis - Amsterdam regular non stop route
Too everyone who had not heard this yet...hopefully but doubtfully the 787 will take over sometime.. (www.wmctv.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yep ... Delta has designated Memphis a "Focus City," which, as the folks in Cincinnati will attest, means that Delta is focused on reducing service there as quickly as possible.
DL has been trying to bleed MEM to death since they took over NWA. They want to feed their international flights out of JFK/DTW/MSP and get out of town. Why do you think they sub-contracted virtually all of their operations at MEM...so they can cut and run on very short notice.
Not even the ticket counter folks at MEM are DL employees anymore..

Don't go looking at MSP for international flights, unless you count six or seven under Delta, and the remaining with Sun Country (twice as many as DAL). Most internationals fly over MSP on the way to DFW or ORD. Like Memphis, I suppose MSP has been a one-horse town, focused only on it's NWA captive regionals feeding it.
It's called "downsizing"!
This is only the start of "all carriers" cutting back due to fuel prices and the size of aircraft needed to fly those long haul flights!
OK. I know most of you will disagree with me. but when they show inside the airport, that is not memphis. i know i've never been in MEM. but the video is showing the inside of CLT
