Delta Airlines has brought down the flights from 7 weekly to 6. Delta will not operate on Thursadays. The airline is also now using a 737 instead of the 757 it use to use for the low season. On top of that for the high season of summer they are only upgrading to a 757. I dont know I guess Delta is not getting the support it needs from people and AA is robbing it all.

Delta is doing ok on its routes to dominican republic, its was a dumb idea to bring 737-800 to STI and SDQ market. Delta is not too smart anymore doing this kind of thing. Delta should change from a 757 to a 763 but i think thats those 763 are being used for Europe flights from JFK for the summer.

"Delta not doing as great in STI" is a pretty sensational headline.

Makes it sound like closure is immiment.

But going from 7 to 6 flights/week, in a very seasonal destination, is probably nothing more than a well-reasoned adjustment to supply in response to a seasonal decrease in demand.

Hey... I oughta teach Ecomomics 101!

I am coming for a party in NYC and after will head straight to atlanta. I may not have time to hang with anyone this time. But if I decide to stay another day or 2, I will call. Lets go to rancho Jubliee if we go for a few drinks and laughs.
Getting back to subject:

Delta may be doing fine in Santiago and this could simply be seasonal fluctuations as demand increases/decrease through any given year, but the one that is really having problems is American Airlines in Puerto Plata.

Apparently, the NYC-Puerto Plata route has been unprofitable for quite some time and they are finally letting this one go.

Puerto Plata is no more the #1 destination tourist spot for Americans in DR. You can still get a deal if you are looking for a budget vacation to go on Puerto Plata is the spot.

Well as discussed earlier that really sucks but I guess they had to fo it now the only direct way to get to POP is through EWR or you would have to fly into STI or make a connection.
