Delta Air Lines expands flight options while delaying one highly anticipated route

Delta Air Lines is adding flights in places travelers love, but one heavily promoted launch just hit a wall that has nothing to do with demand. Airlines reshape their networks all the time, usually to protect profits. In my recent reporting for TheStreet, I covered Delta dropping 17 international routes to focus on premium travelers. This time, the story is different. Here is what Delta confirmed in recent days, from a new Arizona gateway to extra spring break flights out of Boston, and the delay that changes the picture. Earlier this month, Delta Air Lines confirmed it is launching new nonstop service from Salt Lake City to Flagstaff, Arizona, starting June 7, 2027.
