Delta New Domestic Routes and Exits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Delta is discontinuing its New York LaGuardia (LGA) <\/a>to Providence (PVD) service, which operated once daily using a CRJ-900 aircraft. This slot-covering route, added in 2022, reportedly underperformed expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the carrier is eliminating its Casper (CPR) to Salt Lake City (SLC) route, which was serviced by a CRJ-500 and had been experiencing poor performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the expansion front, Delta is introducing multiple new routes operating one to two times per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These additions include Asheville (AVL) to Boston (BOS)<\/a>, Boston (BOS) to both Bozeman (BZN) and Pensacola (PNS), Bozeman (BZN) to New York JFK, New York JFK to Seattle (SEA), and Seattle (SEA) to Hailey (SUN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new routes appear to target seasonal leisure travelers, focusing on popular ski and beach destinations. The limited frequency and likely seasonal nature of these services suggest a strategic approach to capturing peak demand periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt Lake City (SLC), a key hub for Delta, sees mixed developments in this update. While losing the Casper connection, it may benefit from increased traffic through other new routes in the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enilria has shared the market data for the above-mentioned new and suspended routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta is ending its Casper (CPR) to Salt Lake City (SLC) route, which has struggled with performance. The route saw a slight increase in traffic from 11 to 13 passengers daily each way (PDEW) year-over-year but maintained a high average fare of $555 round-trip. Delta held an 88% market share on this route, operating one daily flight with a 50-seat CRJ-500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York LaGuardia (LGA) to Providence (PVD) service is also being discontinued. This route experienced a decline in traffic from 13 to 10 PDEW, despite a slight increase in average fares to $630 round-trip. Delta operated this route exclusively, offering 6-7 weekly flights with a 76-seat CRJ-900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta is introducing several new seasonal routes. These include Asheville (AVL) to Boston (BOS), where Delta will compete with Allegiant’s existing service on a market seeing 107 PDEW at a $390 average fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston (BOS) to Bozeman (BZN) is another new addition, entering a market with 88 PDEW and a high $1,012 average fare, competing with JetBlue (B6) <\/a>and United (UA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier is also launching Boston (BOS) to Pensacola (PNS) service, entering an unserved market with 49 PDEW and a $787 average fare. New York JFK to Bozeman (BZN) is being added, complementing existing JetBlue service in a market with 30 PDEW and an $870 average fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta is increasing its presence on the competitive New York JFK to Seattle (SEA) route, which sees 975 PDEW and an $808 average fare. The airline currently holds a 39% market share, competing with Alaska Airlines and JetBlue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Delta is entering the Seattle (SEA) to Hailey (SUN) market, challenging Alaska Airlines’ dominance. This route sees 41 PDEW with a $565 average fare, with Alaska currently holding a 94% market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
