Delta said Wednesday that it planned to cut back on international flights by 3% during the last three months of the year. It will target countries hurt most by the volatility in the currency and commodity markets this year.
The airline said that there will be a 15% to 20% reduction in service from Japan, 15% reduction to Brazil, 15% to 20% reduction to Africa, India and the Middle East, and suspension of service to Moscow.
Delta noted that these are “markets that have been most affected by the strong dollar and markets where demand has been negatively impacted by the decline in oil prices.” Read more in CNN.
