DELTA TO DROP FLIGHTS NEXT WEEK

SIOUX CITY'S AIRPORT BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS VOTED TO RECCOMEND A CHANGE IN AIR CARRIERS.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO REPLACE DELTA AIRLINES WITH AMERICAN EAGLE, WHICH WOULD PROVIDE TWO DAILY FLIGHTS TO CHICAGO.         

AIRPORT BOARD PRESIDENT DAN KAPLAN SAYS HE JUST LEARNED THAT DELTA WAS ACTUALLY REDUCING FLIGHTS OUT OF SIOUX CITY ON TWO DAYS NEXT WEEK, HAMPERING THANKSGIVING TRAVEL:

DELTA'S DECISION TO DROP FLIGHTS NEXT WEEK WAS MADE BEFORE THE AIRPORT BOARD MADE THEIR DECISION TO RECCOMEND AMERICAN EAGLE.

THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION  WILL SOON ACT UPON THE RECCOMENDATION TO PROVIDE A TWO YEAR FEDERAL SUBSIDY FOR AMERICAN EAGLE.
