XJT’s Announces New DL Routes

Delta Air Lines will add 21 new daily flights at Los Angeles International Airport, which it plans to turn into a future hub for service to Asia and Latin America. Beginning with the July 1 expansion, Delta will have up to 100 daily departures to 48 cities from Los Angeles. Express Jet (XJT) will connect Los Angeles to Denver, Phoenix and Boise using its 50-seat ERJ 145s. The regional operator is responsible for pricing and revenue management on the flights and maintenance of the planes. The arrangement limits Delta's risks on the new routes. XJT said it was working on such a deal during its recent first quarter investor’s call. Related Story
