Delta cutting more flights at Cincinnati

CINCINNATI — Delta Air Lines will cut more flights at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in February.

Delta said Tuesday that the cuts will eliminate direct service to Montreal, Oklahoma City, Okla., Providence, R.I., Des Moines, Iowa, and the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee.

Delta spokeswoman Kristin Baur says the cuts will not result in employee reductions.

The Atlanta-based company had announced earlier that it would trim 25 flights from Cincinnati’s daily schedule in January, eliminating direct service to Charleston, S.C., Savannah, Ga., Tulsa, Okla., and Huntsville, Ala.

Baur says the combined cuts in January and February will leave the airport with 180 to 190 daily departures and about 70 nonstop destinations.

A message seeking comment was left Tuesday for an airport spokeswoman.
