Delta Makes More Changes at Memphis International

Delta Airlines is making more changes at Memphis International Airport.

Delta is adding a second flight between Memphis and New York City’s LaGuardia Airport beginning Feb. 13.

But the airline, which has dramatically reduced service in Memphis over the last several years, is seasonally suspending its nonstop flights between Memphis and Salt Lake City from Nov. 2 until June 4.

To help offset the suspension of the service to Salt Lake City International Airport, Delta is increasing the size of its aircraft on its Memphis to Los Angeles flights, providing an outlet for passengers who need to reach the Western U.S.

Delta currently offers one flight per day between Memphis and LaGuardia. The second flight will be available for purchase on Oct. 4 at delta.com. Beginning Feb. 13, Memphis will have departure times of 7 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. to LaGuardia, with arrivals at Memphis from LaGuardia occurring at 11:57 a.m. and 10:05 p.m.

“While we’re excited about the addition of the second flight to the world’s business market of New York City, we are disappointed to lose the nonstop flight to Salt Lake City,” said Scott Brockman, president and CEO of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority, in a statement. “We recognize that during this period of change and reinvention, we must continue our relentless pursuit of additional air service, especially to markets in the Western U.S.”
