(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:06022009
CINCINNATI -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) today lowered business and
leisure fares in domestic markets served from its Cincinnati hub. The
reductions offer more than 80 percent of customers flying to or from
Cincinnati a significant savings** on advance-purchase leisure and
business fares to the hub's most popular destinations, including select
cities in Florida, the Northeast and along the West coast. Customers
can take advantage of these new fares while enjoying convenient nonstop
service to nearly 90 domestic destinations.
"Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky is the airport of choice for customers
across the Tri-State Region and these new fares make it compelling for
customers to choose the convenience of flying nonstop to more than 90
worldwide destinations from Delta's Cincinnati hub rather than wasting
time and money driving to neighboring airports," said Glen Hauenstein,
Delta's executive vice president - Network Planning and Revenue
Management.
