Delta Air Lines Released Summer Schedule to Include a Two

(Traverse City, MI) - Delta Airlines loaded its summer schedule into the reservation system
with an increase of seats and better utilization of aircraft to promote travel. Delta is offering a
two class product on all cities served this summer. Delta Airlines has announced returning
summer service to Atlanta, New York LaGuardia, and Minneapolis; along with the daily service
to Detroit
Beginning in May, Delta Air Lines will be utilizing their new B717 aircraft (similar to the
DC9) on their Detroit flying providing a first class product with a 110 seats. This aircraft will
provide better opportunities for all travelers and will be great for groups attracted to our festivals
and events. “Delta will be using the two class product on all routes served in our market,”
stated Kevin Klein, Airport Director. “This is an indication Delta is providing what our travelers
have asked for. With more seats in the market, there are more opportunities for quality fares. It
is clear that Delta is committed to service levels that we need, while our community
demonstrates it is a great return on investment for Delta.” Klein went on to say.
The past several years have seen growth at TVC. Since 2011 total growth in capacity
has been 6.8%. During 2013 alone, TVC grew 4.5% and with a great December in at 12.5%.
How does this compare to our nation’s airports? Our nation’s airports grew about 0.5%.
Today’s airline market has changed and airlines are looking for the best return on investment
and TVC provides that market.
