Delta to Add 100 Flights, 29 Destinations from LaGuardia www.SteeleTravelBlog.com

December 19, 2011
Delta Air Lines said that it plans to use its new New York hub at LaGuardia Airport to add more than 100 flights to 29 new destinations. Delta has more capacity out of LaGuardia thanks to a slot exchange of takeoff and landing rights at LaGuardia and Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. between Delta and US Airways.
Delta’s investment will be the largest single expansion by any carrier at LaGuardia in decades, with total flights increasing by more than 60 percent, and total destinations by more than 75 percent. By summer 2012, Delta will operate 264 daily flights between LaGuardia and more than 60 cities, more than any other airline.
Delta will offer more domestic flights and seats from New York’s three major airports than any other carrier, with more than 400 daily domestic departures from LaGuardia, JFK and Newark to destinations nationwide. Delta’s new hub will benefit consumers across the state of New York and the Northeast with convenient new nonstop jet service to LaGuardia.
