Shannon Longworth: If you have a Delta flight booked this summer–or even for this weekend–you should check your notifications and email because it could be canceled.
The airline has announced that it’s cutting about a hundred flights a day within its markets in the US and Latin America.
The “strategic decrease,” as Delta calls it, is apparently due to rising demand and some challenging factors they face, such as weather and increased employee absences due to COVID.
Some cancellations are for Memorial Day weekend, while others are between July 1st and August 7th.
Delta says passengers will be offered assistance in rebooking or getting refunds.
And Delta’s not alone in trimming its upcoming schedule.
JetBlue said it’ll be removing 8-10 percent of *its* flights this summer.
Alaska Airlines will be cutting 2 percent.
