Delta Air Lines expands flight options while delaying one highly anticipated route

Delta Air Lines is expanding service in several high-demand markets while delaying one promoted nonstop route. The airline confirmed it will launch Salt Lake City to Flagstaff, Arizona on June 7, 2027, operating twice daily year-round with SkyWest Airlines CRJ-550 aircraft, supporting access to northern Arizona destinations. Delta also announced an expanded 10-day schedule out of Boston Logan for Patriots’ Day and spring break, adding more than 45 round-trip flights and 6,000 seats, a 15% rise versus the prior-year holiday period, with extra flying focused on April 16-18 and April 22-25, 2027. Separately, Delta postponed its planned nonstop Atlanta–Riyadh launch from Oct. 23, 2026 to March 2027.
