By next quarter, Delta will increase its average number of seats to 20 cities it flies to from CVG as part of the shuffling of airplanes, airport spokeswoman Melissa Wideman said. Fortune 500 giants Procter & Gamble and Kroger are among several companies that continue to have travel deals with the airline.ĭelta will offer nonstop flights to 40 cities from CVG after all the summer schedule changes. But unlike in Memphis – where Delta continues the process of closing its hub – the airline still has strong support from top companies in Cincinnati. Top business leaders fear Delta will pull the plug on its CVG hub like it did in Memphis in 2013. "Our goal in each market is to maintain overall destinations and seat availability as much as possible."

The latest cuts will drop Delta below 100 daily flights at its once-booming CVG hub, and again raises the question: How much longer will the airline remain committed to Cincinnati?Īirline officials continue to say they have no immediate plans to pull the plug on the profitable CVG hub, which Delta CEO Richard Anderson said in summer 2013 was "right-sized." Delta's cuts had leveled off the past few years. The cuts are part of Delta's ongoing efforts to phase out aging and inefficient 50-seat regional jets.
